This table above shows ranges for normal blood pressure for men over 50 years of age. It is clear from the table thatblood pressure rises after the age of 60 yearsand peaks at about 75-89 yearsand gradually reduces thereafter. A lot of debates have surfaced in recent times regardingconside...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government Thursday eased restrictions on blood donations from gay men and other key groups because of a drop in the nation's blood supply triggered by the coronavirus outbreak.
These measurements are typically recorded as one number over the other (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) with both values represented in millimeters of mercury. This unit provides a standardized measurement for healthcare providers to evaluate and monitor blood pressure levels, helping to diagnose and manage ca...
Low blood pressure mainly affects younger people, especially women. In contrast to hypertension (see above), there is only a need for action such as drug therapy in the case of hypotension if the patient’s symptoms cause increased suffering. However, since low blood pressure can also be cause...

As the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present major challenges for health systems. In this study, we analyzed the effects of better population blood pressure control in the context of a proposed 80-80-80 target: 80% of i
Intensive (<130/80 mm Hg) blood pressure (BP) lowering in older people might give greater reduction in cardiovascular risk, but there are concerns that this might produce hypoperfusion which may precipitate falls and possibly stroke. We determined the effect of intensive compared with usual BP ...
The time at which hypertension treatment should be initiated for different age groups and sexes remains controversial. We aimed to determine whether the association between blood pressure (BP) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) varies with ag
blood pressure in thegeriatricpatient is beneficial in lowering morbidity, but may not effect mortality, especially in the very old. It also suggests that when a target blood pressure cannot be achieved—for example, because of anadverse drug effect, even a mild reduction in systolic blood ...
