| | Pulse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The ease of palpability of a pulse is dictated by the patient's blood pressure. | | | In medicine, a person's pulse is the throbbing of their arteries as an effect of the heart beat. | | | The pressure pulse is 15 or more times more rapidly transmitted than the blood flow. |

| | Pulse pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Pulse pressure is the change in blood pressure seen during a contraction of the heart. | | | The pulse pressure increases with exercise due to increased stroke volume, healthy values being up to pulse pressures of about 100 mmHg, simultaneously as total peripheral resistance drops during exercise. | | | This behavior facilitates a much greater increase in stroke volume and cardiac output at a lower mean arterial pressure and enables much greater aerobic capacity and physical performance. |

| | Pulse Pressure |
| | Increased pulse pressure may help identify hypertensive patients at high risk for overt CHF who are candidates for aggressive blood pressure control. | | | A high pulse pressure is a measure of stiffness of the arteries. | | | Both the mean arterial pressure and systolic blood pressure were found to be inversely associated with mortality at univariate and multivariate analyses. |

| | DG DISPATCH - ASH MEETING: New Risk Factor In Cardiovascular Disease -- Pulse Pressure |
| | Gasowski said an increase in the pulse pressure by 10 mm Hg, increased the risk of major cardiovascular complications (after controlling for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure and other co-variants) to almost 13 percent for all coronary end-points and to nearly 20 percent for all cardiovascular mortality. | | | The patients demonstrated a mean blood pressure of 118/76 mm Hg with an average pulse pressure of 42 mm Hg and a mean arterial pressure of 90 mm Hg. | | | Fang said that in the younger patients with pulse pressures greater than 50 mm Hg, cardiovascular mortality was increased (70 percent in men and 310 percent in women) when compared with patients to pulse pressures of less than 36 mm Hg. |

| | The objective of this study was to study the association of early age at menopause with pulse pressure (PP), a marker of arterial stiffness, and PP change. | | | Because pulse pressure is affected by hypertension per se and hypertensive medication, we divided women into consistent users of hypertensive medication and all others. | | | When fitting by ordinary techniques models of change in an outcome variable as a function of some exposure and the baseline level of the outcome variable, it is well known that the presence of measurement error in the baseline outcome variable can cause substantial bias in the estimates of all model coefficients [9]. |

| | Your pulse is taken by touching one of several "pulse points" located on your body. | | | The pressure with which the blood begins to flow represents the pressure of the heart's contraction (known as the systolic phase). | | | Normal blood pressure ranges from 110 to 150 millimeters (as the heart beats) over 60 to 80 millimeters (as the heart relaxes). |
