Brain natriuretic peptide, systolic and diastolic blood pressures.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is an increasingly important medical and public health issue. Because of life time risk of hypertension Joint National Committee-7 introduced a new term "Pre-hypertension" for those with systolic blood pressure 120-139 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 80-89 mmHg. Individuals prone to the development of hypertension often have a hyperdynamic circulation antedating the on...
متن کاملAssessment of Doppler ultrasound to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures in infants and young children.
A recently developed instrument uses the Doppler shift technique to detect vessel wall movement, and it has been suggested that in conjunction with a conventional sphygmomanometer systolic and diastolic blood pressures can be measured. A controlled study was carried out in 20 children recovering from cardiac surgery where direct intra-arterial measurements (one observer) were compared with inde...
متن کاملOscillometric measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressures validated in a physiologic mathematical model
BACKGROUND The oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff yields valid estimates of mean pressure but questionable estimates of systolic and diastolic pressures. Existing algorithms are sensitive to differences in pulse pressure and artery stiffness. Some are closely guarded trade secrets. Accurate extraction of systolic and diastolic pressures from the envelope of ...
متن کاملMaking good use of diastolic and systolic blood pressures in the management of hypertension.
n the modern era, physicians who wish to measure blood pressure for the management of hypertension are faced by many dilemmas and controversies. In the 1960s and 1970s it was very simple—use a mercury sphygmomanometer in the clinic, measure both the systolic blood pressures (SBPs) and diastolic blood pressures (DBPs), and base your decisions for managing the hypertension on the diastolic pressu...
متن کاملMid-diastolic aortic valve opening in severe acute aortic regurgitation.
A case of severe acute aortic regurgitation is reported. Echocardiographic findings included mid-diastolic opening of the aortic valve, premature closure of the mitral valve, diastolic shuddering of the anterior mitral leaflet, probable demonstration of the flail aortic cusp in the left ventricular outflow tract, and increased left atrial and left ventricular dimensions. Correlation with hemody...
