The difference between the systolic and diastolic numbers - the upper and lower numbers of your blood pressure is known as pulse pressure. According to doctors, it is an indicator of health ...

To test the hypothesis, the investigators examined the association between pulse pressure and the development of AF in 5331 participants of the Framingham Heart Study who were 35 years and older ...

On physical examination, he was noted to have wide pulse pressure, elevated jugular venous pressure, and alternating flushing and blanching of the nail beds in concert with the cardiac cycle, known as ...

This is in part due to a reappraisal of the early studies and the emergence of new insights into the pathophysiological significance of increased arterial stiffness and its influence on blood pressure ...

In six anaesthetised and ventilated dogs the CSF pulse pressure was compared with the volume-pressure response (VPR) during continuous inflation of an extradural balloon. Both pulse pressure and VPR ...

Peripheral systolic pressure at rest uniformly exceeded the central systolic pressure generated by the same heartbeat. The average radial pulse pressure was 146, 146 and 165 per cent of central pulse ...

Objective Resting pulse pressure (PP) is a risk factor for heart failure (HF); however, whether PP augmentation during exercise, a parameter easily obtained from routine treadmill stress testing, is ...

This study looked at pulse pressure wave analysis, using the diastolic portion of the cardiac cycle, in the prediction of hypertensive disease of pregnancy. Women were recruited from the antenatal ...
