Hazards of atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis predisposes a person to many different types of disease such as coronary artery disease, peripeheral arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and ischemic stroke to name some of the heavy hitters. These are all dangerous diseases that can be lethal.
Coronary perfusion pressure?
the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.
What is Heart conditions contraindicated to massage?
There are several, the main one is hypertension, or high blood pressure. If they are on medication and it is under control then massage would be indicated. Other conditions where caution should be exercised, or even clearance by a physician include atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, angina, mitral valve prolapse, and pacemakers.
What is the normal value of coronary perfusion pressure?
The normal value of coronary perfusion pressure is typically around 60-80 mmHg. This pressure gradient is essential for adequate blood flow to the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. Maintaining a sufficient coronary perfusion pressure is crucial for overall cardiac function and health.
Does arteriorsclerosis increase or decrease blood pressure?
Arteriosclerosis increases blood pressure due to a reduction of compliance in the arterial tree.
Coronary Artery Disease diagnosis and Treatment?
It can be diagnosed by checking blood pressure, also having an electrocardiogram is a common method of diagnosis. Treatment could include bypass surgery, drugs to control blood pressure, also, there is a procedure to inflate a small balloon inside an artery to widen it.
What do cigarettes do to your heart?
