High Mean Blood Flow Velocity and the Level of Peripheral Resistance in the Common Carotid Artery in Young Women with Low Blood Pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim of this study was to evaluate an extracranial blood flow in young women with low blood pressure. Two groups of subjects reported in this study were selected from 1,264 women aged from 18 to 35 years: 69 women with low systolic blood pressure SBP (61-99 mmHg) and 35 women with normal SBP (120-129 mmHg). SBP was measured and Doppler sonography study of the right common carotid artery was performed. The study revealed a higher mean blood flow velocity and the level of peripheral resistance in the common carotid artery in young women with low SBP (= 99 mmHg) when compared with normotonic women (SBP 120129 mmHg). These signs should be considered as a compensatory mechanism that preserves an adequate blood flow of the brain only at a young age.

Measuring the Nitroglycerine-Induced Vasodilation in Carotid Arteries
Introduction: Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting drug that rapidly dilates coronary arteries and thus increases blood flow to these vessels, and increases the blood flow through the lateral vessels to low blood areas. It also reduces both end diastolic pressure and volume of the left ventricular. However, the effect of nitroglycerin on the circulation hemodynamic is not known. Caro...

Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the substitution of the blood pressure changes in the central arteries such as carotid with the blood pressure changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...

The high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. However, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. The objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...

Background & Objective : Several indices have been introduced to estimate arterial stiffness that based on changes in brachial blood pressure. But because of the error resulted by the substitution of brachial blood pressure instead of the other central arteries, such as carotid, it will be very important to present elastic parameter based on the mechanical models without any emphasis on brach...
