| | blood pressure - Columbia Encyclopedia article about blood pressure |
 | | The contraction of the heart (systole) causes the blood pressure to rise to its highest point, and relaxation of the heart (diastole) brings the pressure down to its lowest point. |  | | The pressure in the arteries originates in the pumping action of the heart, and pressure waves can be felt at the wrist and at other points where arteries lie near the surface of the body (see pulse pulse, alternate expansion and contraction of artery walls as heart action varies blood volume within the arteries. |  | | During diastole, or relaxation of the heart, blood volume in the arteries decreases and the walls contract, propelling the blood farther along the arterial pathway. |

 | | One of the ways to get an idea of systole is by putting your hand on the carotid artery, or by feeling the apex beat. |  | | During systole, these murmurs can abate simply b/c of equalization of pressures in the RV and LV. |  | | This is an extreme end- stage condition in patients with large VSDs. |

 | | Forward flow during ventricular systole which is in response to the fall in atrial pressure that accompanies atrial relaxation and the downward displacement of the tricuspid or mitral annulus as the right and left ventricles contract; |  | | Unlike the superior and inferior vena cavae in which there may be reverse flow during atrial systole, flow through the ductus venosus demonstrates continuous forward flow towards the heart. |  | | While the effect of altered compliance or increased ‘stiffness’ is not possible to measure non-invasively in the human fetus, there are pathological models which may help to understand this phenomena. |

 | | The pumping function of the heart is divided into two phases: firstly, the ability of the heart to relax properly so that blood can return into the relaxed heart, and secondly, the ability to be actively pumped out to the body. |  | | The most significant advances recently have been in our understanding of how the rest of the body adapts to the dysfunction of the heart in an attempt to correct and counteract these changes. |  | | The issue in treatment is what are the relative percentages of diastolic or systolic dysfunction in each particular person with heart failure. |

 | | This murmur can be distinguished from either a small ventricular septal defect or mitral regurgitation because in both of those conditions, the systolic murmur begins directly with the first heart sound. |  | | Some simple procedures can clarify doubts; Valsalva, sustained hand grip exercise, and change in patient body position can help. |  | | The most common continuous murmur is the venous hum, an innocent murmur audible in many children placed in the sitting position. |
