elderlyechocardiographyheart failureLow blood pressure in the very old has been associated with organ dysfunction and excess mortality but the underlying mechanism has yet to be elucidated. We hypothesized that cardiac dysfunction contributes to low blood pressure in the very old. We invited a ...
Low blood pressure and risk of dementia in the Kungsholmen project: a 6-year follow-up study. Low blood pressure and dementia in elderly people: the Kungsholmen project. Hospital stay and mortality are increased in patients having a "triple low"of low blood pressure, low bispectral index, and...
Low blood pressure (BP) has been found to be associated with cerebrovascular damage in the elderly. Studies of the relation of ambulatory BP to cognitive function in elderly persons aged 80 years or above is lacking, however.Ninety-seven 81-year-old men from the population study 'Men born in...
The systolic blood pressure (the top number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart contracts and pumps blood into them. The diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) represents the pressure in the arteries as the muscle of the heart relaxes following its contracti...
“At these levels, you’ve essentially doubled the risk of cardiovascular complications relative to individuals with normal blood pressure.” Dr. Whelton continued. “Our aim is to be forthright. Recognizing this doubling in risk is crucial. It doesn’t necessarily prescribe medication, but it ce...
Exaggerated ambulatory blood pressure variability is associated with cognitive dysfunction in the very elderly and quality of life in the younger elderly. Am J Hypertens. 2007;20(7):720-727.PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 40. van Boxtel MP, Henskens LH, Kroon AA, et al. Ambulatory blood ...
How does blood pressure work? During relaxation of the heart (diastole), the left ventricleof the heart fills with blood returning from the lungs. The left ventricle then contracts and pumps blood into the arteries (systole). The blood pressure in the arteries during contraction of the ventricl...
Effects of Heat Wave on Body Temperature and Blood Pressure in the Poor and Elderly We aimed to investigate the acute effects of heat stress on body temperature and blood pressure of elderly individuals living in poor housing conditions. R... YM Kim,S Kim,HK Cheong,... - 《Environ Health...
Things to Know About Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension) Blood pressure chart Low blood pressure in itself may be less important than the symptoms associated with it. An individual's blood pressure is expressed as systolic/diastolic blood pressure, for example, 120/80. See the Blood Pressure Chart...
Association between ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure levels and brain volume reduction: a cross-sectional elderly population-based study. Previous literature has shown mixed results regarding the association between blood pressure levels and brain volume reduction. The objectives of this stud... C Annwe...
