A team of researchers from Tulane University, in their article “High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Disease” published in the Journal of Hypertension, highlights that abnormal blood pressure readings, whether high or low, in systolic or diastolic measurements, can signal potential health issues. T...
Demographic data, systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures along with current medications, echocardiograms, and documented clinical appreciation and management of low blood pressure were recorded in the form of 104 outpatient clinical visits. Blood pressure (BP) was classified as low if the ...
High Blood Pressure can be caused by a number of underlying conditions. Learn about the causes of high/low blood pressure in this guide.

This study used the OMRON HAM-8731 Blood Pressure Monitor (Omron Healthcare, Kyoto, Japan). The means of three different systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings measured at 5-minute intervals were used to report the respondents’ blood pressure values. Hypertension was defined as systolic ...
This observation is may be surprising but can be explained by the fact that only 31% of patients received FFRCT, and the positivity rate was very low—similar to absolute rates of revascularization in this population. Interestingly, the additional cost of FFRCT (ie, $1450) was o...
Record low sea-level pressure readings were recorded at Astoria, Oregon (28.5 in), Seattle, Washington (28.6 in), and Medford, Oregon (28.9 in). Winds gusted to 119 mph at Sea Lion Caves, Oregon, and 103 mph at Angel Island, California. Six deaths and over two million power outages ...
The normal partial pressure differences between inspired air and alveolar gas for O2, CO2, H2O, and N2 can be explained because of ___. (a) net movements of CO2, O2, and H2O into the alveoli from blood capillaries (b) net movements of CO2 towa...
Since blood pressure measurements were taken in the homes of participants, coupled with no material differences in the mean blood pressure readings regardless of whether the average of the second and third reading or all available readings were used, any bias in blood pressure measurements, if ...
“We need to take 4 readings over the next two hours and see how it goes”. “Great” I thought “There goes the rest of this day… We’ll be sitting here for another couple of hours and then when her blood pressure comes back normal we’ll just go home again.” Here’s where ...
