SYSTOLIC blood pressureORTHOSTATIC hypotensionHYPERTENSION risk factorsGENDERHypertension is a disease defined as persistently elevated arterial blood pressure (BP) with systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure of less than 80 mm Hg. Age is one the most common...
blood pressure n.Abbr.BP The pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels, especially the arteries. It varies with the strength of the heartbeat, the elasticity of the arterial walls, the volume and viscosity of the blood, and a person's health, age, and physical...
A blood pressure survey was made of 400 physicians attending the 1965 American Medical Association annual convention. A double-blind technique was used to compare the usual clinical measurement with the electronic blood pressure monitor. The average age was 55.2 years. Mean blood pressure values by ...
On average, systolic pressure is relatively stable in men and women until approximately age 45, increases at 5-8 mm Hg per decade in middle age, then accelerates in men and stabilizes in women. Diastolic pressure increases at 1 mm Hg per decade at all ages in men, whereas in women the ...
Blood pressure may change due to many factors, such as age and activity level. Learn how to monitor blood pressure with this complete blood pressure chart.
Pulse transit time (PTT), which refers to the travel time between two arterial sites within the same cardiac cycle, has been developed as a novel cuffless form of continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring. The aim of this study was to investigate differe
功能医学医生正在使用更有效的指标来衡量心脏健康和疾病风险。 Getting the right tests is a big part of preventing, assessing, managing, and even reversing cardiovascular disease. Conventional medical wisdom tends to look at traditional metrics like cholesterol and blood-pressure levels, age, gender, fami...
“One of the major barriers to sticking to a low salt diet is that people do not like the taste, but few studies have addressed this issue,” said study author Professor Misook Chung of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, US. “Our pilot study in patients with high blood pressure shows...

Blood pressure: normal values and deviations Depending on age, different blood pressure values are considered “normal”. If there are deviations, the systolic and diastolic values are usually either increased or decreased together. However, there can also be a deviation of only one of the two va...
