Fall in Blood Pressure During Radiation Therapy

Blood Pressure Fall During Sleep

The study was designed to investigate the possible role of endogenous opioids in the fall in blood pressure (BP) seen during initial sleep. Seven normal men, ages 20-30 years, were studied for three consecutive nights. Each night, electroencephalogram, chin electromyogram, electrooculogram, heart rate (all continuously), and blood pressure (every 15 minutes) were recorded. Night 1 was used for ...

Changes in blood pressure and heart rhythm during transhiatal esophagectomy

Background: Esophagectomy is considered to be the main treatment for esophageal malignancies. Among the different methods, transhiatal approach can cause less damage to patients and is widely used however, manipulation of esophagus result in heart rate and blood pressure variations. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in blood pressure and heart rhythm during transhiatal esophagect...

Blunted nocturnal fall in blood pressure in hypertensive women.

course, significant and warrants careful clinical consideration because this technique could exacerbate hypoxemia in the child with transposition; but the potential advantage of this technique is the ability to eliminate the afterload rapidly. Further experimental work is necessary to determine the minimal afterload requirements to induce sufficient myocardial hypertrophy to sustain the increas...

Can fall of blood pressure prevent falls in Parkinson disease?

Idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD) is ana-synucleinopathy, one of several proteinopathies characterized by intracellular and extracellular accumulation of abnormal filament proteins. Relentless progression of neuropathologic changes, consisting of a-synuclein-positive Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, and widespread neuronal loss closely correlate with clinical worsening of motor and nonmotor PD sy...
