Is the Systolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure when the ventricles relax and fill with blood?
No. I think the systolic pressure is when ventricles constrict and the blood goes out , while the diastolic pressure is when ventricles relax and fill with blood.
Is 45 to 55 pulse rate two low while on blood pressure med?
A pulse rate of 45 to 55 providing that is the resting pulse rate while on certain medications that slow heart rate as well as lowering blood pressure can be normal. For example Verapamil or Propranolol. A doctor should be consulted to find if the medication prescribed is the result of none drug related Bradycardia.
How blood pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure?
Blood pressure is the blood flow when the heart is pumping (top number) and when the heart is resting (bottom number). The body is a closed system and requires enough blood pressure to pump the blood throughout the body. A typically healthy blood pressure would be 120mmHg/70mmHg. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of the atmosphere at a specific location and altitude. At sea level, atmospheric pressure is 760mmHg. So actually, atmospheric pressure is much greater than blood pressure. Most people never have to worry about atmospheric pressure affecting blood pressure. However, deep sea divers experience an increase in blood pressure while diving, and astronauts experience a decrease in blood pressure when in space.
What does it mean to have a low heart rate and high blood pressure?
Having a low heart rate and high blood pressure can indicate a condition known as bradycardia with hypertension. Bradycardia is a slower than normal heart rate, typically below 60 beats per minute, while hypertension is high blood pressure above the normal range. This combination can be caused by various factors such as underlying heart conditions, medication side effects, or hormonal imbalances. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management of this condition.
How does coarctation of the aorta impact blood pressure?
Parts of the body supplied by arteries that branch off the aortic arch before the narrowing have high blood pressure, while most of the lower body does not receive enough blood supply. To compensate, the heart works harder, and the blood pressure rises
