The body has mechanisms to alter or maintain blood pressure and blood flow. There are sensors that detect blood pressure in the walls of the arteries and send signals to the heart, the arterioles, the veins, and the kidneys that cause them to make changes that lower or increase blood pressu...
3. Sessler DI, Sigl JC, Kelley SD,et al. Hospital stay and mortality are increased in patients having a "triple low" of low blood pressure, low bispectral index, and low minimum alveolar concentration of volatile a...
Patients with pneumonia or urinary tract infections, especially the elderly, are susceptible to dehydration. Burn victims can lose significant amounts of fluid from their burns. Bleeding decreases the number of red blood cells in the blood stream and leads to a decreased amount of fluid in the ...
Low blood pressure can be temporary, or it can be a chronic (long-lasting) condition. Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, is blood pressure low enough that the flow of blood to the organs of the body is inadequate and symptoms and/or signs of low blood flow develop. ...
3 It has been shown that dementia is the main cause of incident disability in the elderly4 and that Alzheimer disease is the sixth leading cause of death among Americans of white race/ethnicity.5 The association between HBP and dementia is controversial. Results of cross-sectional investigations ...
the time of recruitment and that at the end of the study (the age of death or censoring), and risk factors including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), presence of diabetes, lipid levels, renal function, serum uric acid levels, blood pressure, and history of smoking, drinking, and ...
problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain, resulting in impairment of function (neuroglycopenia). Derangements of function can range from vaguely "feeling bad" to coma and (rarely) death. Low blood sugar can arise from many conditions, and can occur at any ...
In addition, the RCS curve revealed the U-shaped correlation between LDL-C level and all-cause mortality on a continuous scale, and the death risk of low and high LDL-C levels increased significantly. Although the public’s attention focuses on the benefit of lipid lowering, this study ...
STUDY OBJECTIVE To explore whether the observed age related decline in the relative risk of death associated with low employment grade can be explained by the profiles of smoking, blood pressure and plasma cholesterol changing differently with age between the employment grades. DESIGN Prospective cohort...
