What does hypertension do to the heart?
Hypertension is a condition of increased blood pressure. This increased pressure on the heart causes eventual weakening of the heart muscle, and places the individual at greater risk of eventual heart faillure.
How is hypertension usually detected?
The systolic pressure is the pressure at its highest. You determine this by cutting off the circulation with a blood pressure cuff and slowly dropping the pressure in the cuff until you hear the first sounds of blood rushing through the arteries. That point is the systolic pressure.
Is 139 over 97 bad blood pressure?
156/76 is not a normal blood pressure. According to my medical book, it is considered to be high blood pressure if you have a systolic number greater than 140 and a diastolic number greater than 90. This is a good time to look into ways to lower your blood pressure.
Does hyper mean greater than?
Yes, the prefix "hyper-" typically means "greater than" or "excessive." It is often used in medical, scientific, and everyday language to indicate an above-normal state, such as "hypertension" (high blood pressure) or "hyperactive" (excessively active).
What are the signs that positive-pressure ventilation has been effective and may be discontinued?
The heart rate has increased to greater than 100 beats per minute, and the baby has sustained spontaneous breathing.
Who are at greater risk for stroke than others?
people who have a family history of stroke as well as people with diabetes, because of the circulatory problems associated with diabetes. People with high blood pressure, also called hypertension
How fast do winds spin in a Hurricane?
By definition, a hurrricane has sustained winds of 74 mph or greater. Sustained winds have been recorded as high as 195 mph.
What is the equation for pressure and what does it mean?
The equation for pressure (P) is given by ( P = \frac{F}{A} ), where ( F ) is the force applied perpendicular to a surface and ( A ) is the area over which the force is distributed. This means that pressure measures how concentrated a force is over a specific area; higher pressure indicates a greater force acting on a smaller area, while lower pressure indicates a smaller force spread over a larger area. Pressure is commonly measured in units like pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm).
Will the speed of a wind be greater if the difference in air pressure is large or small?
The speed of the wind is typically greater when there is a larger difference in air pressure between two points. This is because wind moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and the greater the contrast, the stronger the wind will be as it tries to equalize the pressure.
What pH indicates a base?
A pH greater than 7 indicates a base.
What is systole phase of the heart?
Refers to the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart is in its contracted state. This phase of the cardiac cycle contributes to the upper number in blood pressure readings, called the "systolic blood pressure." A value of greater than 140 on three or more different readings over time is used to define hypertension
Can gas cause high blood pressure?
I never heard of gas causing hypertension There are several things that can cause it though Underlining illness some medication factors that put you at greater risk race age diet weight etccc... Hope this answer helps
