Blood Pressure in a sentence

Blood pressure screenings can help identify a variety of illnesses including hypertension (high blood pressure), hypotension (low blood pressure), strokes, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Unfortunately, it has been estimated that up to 50% of people with hypertension don’t even know their blood pressure is high and 50% of people who are aware they have high blood pressure still don’t have adequate blood pressure control.

As a result, less blood circulates in the blood vessels, and the blood pressure becomes so low that it cannot supply sufficient blood to vital organs.

Examples of problematic situations include sudden drops in blood pressure for those on blood pressure medications (such as Lasix, Lisinopril, and Atenolol), and sudden drops in blood sugar for those on diabetes medications (especially insulin).

The patient had very low blood pressure and a CT scan showed blood clots in deep veins, which they were treated for, but the report said there were few records taken overnight and the patient’s blood pressure continued to drop, along with oxygen levels.

In species that feed on mammalian or avian blood, hosts whose blood pressure is high, the mosquito feeds selectively from active blood vessels, where the pressure assists in filling the gut rapidly.

When the arterial blood pressure rises the arterioles are stimulated to dilate making it easier for blood to leave the arteries, thus deflating them, and bringing the blood pressure down, back to normal.

The researchers also found that greater worry about deportation was linked to higher systolic blood pressure (the pressure in blood vessels when a heart beats) and pulse pressure, an important indicator of heart health.

A combination of personal history, blood pressure, and two blood tests that reflect blood vessel health were found to be the best means of screening for preeclampsia in this analysis, Magee said.

And being overweight or obese can increase the resistance in the blood vessels, making it more difficult for blood to flow freely, which leads to higher blood pressure, according to the NHS.

Studies have shown NO has a positive effect on blood pressure, blood flow, and improves the flexibility of the blood vessels.

In the 17th and 18th century, doctors believed yawning increased oxygen in the blood, blood pressure, heart rate and blood flow itself.

It is characterized by elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia (disturbances in blood cholesterol forms and other blood lipids), and increased waist circumference (at least in populations in much of the developed world).

The rate of mean blood flow depends on both blood pressure and the resistance to flow presented by the blood vessels.

According to the American Heart Association, blood pressure measurement depends on two things to get an accurate result: a properly fitting blood pressure cuff and correct positioning.

Having high blood pressure long term, however, can cause many serious health problems, such as heart disease and stroke, as well as kidney disease, so it’s vital to keep blood pressure numbers down.

If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure or you take medication to manage your blood pressure, be sure to check with your doctor to see if they have a specific recommendation on which device is best for your specific needs and lifestyle.

In addition to measuring blood pressure, this blood pressure monitor also measures heart rate.

Systolic blood pressure represents the maximum pressure exerted during a heartbeat when blood is being pumped out of the heart into the body’s arteries.

Those whose systolic blood pressure declined by 20 mmHg or more in the first 30 seconds after standing had a 22% higher risk of dementia compared to those whose blood pressure remained stable.
