Doctors have long known that in the average person, blood pressure rises from childhood to middle age. Butnormal blood pressurein the elderly has been less certain. Some studies have indicated that blood pressure might drop in older patients and treatment for hypertension has been hypothesized as ...

MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...
placement‚ I encountered an obese elderly man with type 2 diabetes who was bed bound. His BP was 98/73 so I decided to do a manual blood pressure (BP) to make sure it was not a mechanical error from the automatic machine and recorded 99/75. His other vital signs were in between ...

Elderly people 150 / 90 In contrast to adults, there are no risk-adapted standard values for children, as these change with body growth. For this reason, they are defined in comparison to healthy control groups of the same size and age (percentile curves). If the blood pressure is above ...

However, beta-blockers may not be as effective for hypertension in those over 60; though they may be good choices if co-existingheart diseaseis present. It also may be preferable in elderly patients to give two high blood pressure medications at a low dose versus one at a higher dose. ...
