Keeping track of BP is important, especially for older adults. High blood pressure is often called “the silent killer” because people might not experience any overt symptoms. Without regularblood pressure checks, people not even be aware that this condition is damaging their arteries, heart, and...
blood pressureexerciseCigarette smoking raises blood pressure, probably through the nicotine-induced release of norepinephrine from adrenergic nerve ending. We evaluated the effect of smoking on exercise blood pressure in subjects who had normal resting blood pressure and normal exercise radionuclide ...
10-12 However, it is uncertain whether the association between SBP level and an increased risk for ASCVD is present among healthy individuals without either hypertension or other traditional ASCVD risk factors. In addition, prior studies have typically used a reference SBP level less than 115 mm ...
What is a normal, healthy resting heart rate, and what it means if your heart is beating slower or faster than it should.
Typically, pseudosevere AS shows an increase in EOA and relatively little increase in gradient in response to increasing flow, whereas true severe AS is characterized by little or no increase in EOA and an increase in gradient that is congruent with the relative increase in flow (Fig. 2). ...
Your resting heart rate is your lowest heart rate during waking hours. This is typically first thing in the morning because when you are lying down and in a calm and relaxed state, your muscles and other tissues require significantly less blood and oxygen than when you are exercising or movin...
This is your penis’s ‘normal’ or resting state, which occurs when you’re not sexually aroused or stimulated. It also happens after ejaculation as well. When your penis is flaccid the blood flow in and out of your penis is equal. ...
Effective arterial elastance, a global measure of arterial stiffness, and end-systolic LV elastance are typically elevated in HFNEF patients. Because of these elevated arterial and ventricular elastances, limited changes in LV end-diastolic volume induce exaggerated swings in systolic blood pressure. ...
Bradycardia is a slow heart rate -- fewer than 60 bpm. Your resting heart rate typically drops below 60 bpm when you're sleeping. Some athletes and young adults can have heart rates of 40-60 bpm as well. More seriously, bradycardia results from your heart being unable to pump well enough...
