Bilateral Indirect and Direct Arterial Pressures

Bilateral indirect and direct arterial pressures.

B ILATERAL determinations of blood pressure are of importance in the physical diagnosis of certain pathologic conditions involving the aortic arch or its tributaries to the upper extremities. Inequalities may be found in the blood pressure in the 2 arms of some patients who have syphilitic aortitis with aneurysm,1-3 or who have coaretation of the aorta proximal to the left subelavian artery4'5 ...

Indirect Systolic Pressures and Pulse Waves in Arterial Occlusive Disease of the Lower Extremities

Measurements were carried out in 146 limbs with angiographically documented arterial occlusive disease (AOD) and in 85 limbs without AOD. Ankle systolic pressure (AP) was equal to or higher than brachial systolic pressure in limbs without AOD. It was below 82% of the brachial in all limbs with complete occlusion, usually below 50% in those with multiple occlusions, and above 50% in limbs with s...

THE EFFECTS OF CAPTOPRIL ON PULMONARY AND SYS TEMIC ARTERIAL PRESSURES IN HIGHALTITUDE PULMONARY HYPERTENSION

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of captopril on both systemic (P.a) and pulmonary arterial pressures (PPA) in patients with high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Seventeen patients (mean age 44±6.8 years) with HAPH and mild to moderate systemic arterial hypertension were included in the study. All patients underwent right heart catheterization with measurem...
