Medication4
- Controlling blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle might prevent, delay or reduce the need for medication. (mayoclinic.org)
- This might be because these patients stuck to their medication regimen better, or it might be a by-product of better blood pressure control, or improved blood flow to the brain, suggest the authors. (sciencedaily.com)
- Phentermine is an approved obesity medication but associated with increased blood pressure and heart rate, making it a poor choice for this patient. (medscape.com)
- Linear regression analysis was used to determine the relationships between blood pressure and serum levels of the various contaminants after adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), gender, race, smoking and exercise in 394 Anniston residents who were not on anti-hypertensive medication. (cdc.gov)
Stroke2
- Blood pressure pulse waves for quality control - further pulse wave analysis provides additional cardiovascular parameters such as stroke volume , cardiac output and arterial stiffness . (wikipedia.org)
- Pulse pressure also has links to stroke volume and arterial compliance in the heart. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Overweight5
- Being overweight also can cause disrupted breathing while you sleep (sleep apnea), which further raises blood pressure. (mayoclinic.org)
- If you're overweight or have obesity, losing even a small amount of weight can help reduce blood pressure. (mayoclinic.org)
- Even among normotensive women, the risk of overweight or obesity in their children was increased by 5% to 8% if their blood pressure increased from prepregnancy levels during the second or third trimester. (medscape.com)
- Our study is the first to demonstrate that, among pregnant women, elevated blood pressure is associated with a greater risk of overweight and obesity for their children. (medscape.com)
- Among normotensive women, first-trimester blood pressure was not associated with offspring overweight/obesity, after taking into account maternal BMI and height. (medscape.com)
Decreases1
- Mamenko's lab has shown that blocking aldosterone receptors, called mineralocorticoid receptors, in hypertensive female rats decreases the overzealous, unhealthy activity of ENaC and results in more significant blood pressure decreases than in their male counterparts, "strongly suggesting" that aldosterone is an unrecognized, female-specific mechanism in chronic blood pressure regulation, he says. (eurekalert.org)
Regulation1
- There is cumulative evidence that while the fundamental system for blood pressure control is the same, blood pressure regulation in males and females is somewhat different," says Dr. Mykola Mamenko , physiologist in the Department of Physiology at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University . (eurekalert.org)
Higher6
- Blood pressure higher than 180/120 mm Hg is considered a hypertensive emergency or crisis. (mayoclinic.org)
- The first, the higher of the two, is your systolic pressure. (webmd.com)
- SBP minus DBP equates to pulse pressure (PP). A wide PP refers to a larger difference than usual between these values and may indicate a higher risk of heart disease. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- As owners of SOS Alarm, which operates Sweden's emergency telephone number 112 and other related services, ramp up pressure for the company to attain higher profits, several counties remain dissatisfied with the skills of the emergency operators. (thelocal.se)
- To assist the automotive industry in its quest to develop ever more fuel-efficient technologies, Sandvik Materials Technology is launching two grades of seamless stainless tubing-Pressurfect and Pressurfect XP-to handle higher fuel pressures in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. (sae.org)
- GDI systems facilitate the injection of fuel into the cylinders at considerably higher pressures, resulting in a more controlled and even burn. (sae.org)
Arterial3
- Continuous noninvasive arterial pressure ( CNAP ) is the method of measuring beat-to-beat arterial blood pressure in real-time without any interruptions (continuously) and without cannulating the human body ( noninvasive ). (wikipedia.org)
- Continuous noninvasive arterial blood pressure measurement (CNAP) combines the advantages of the following two clinical "gold standards": it measures blood pressure (BP) continuously in real-time like the invasive arterial catheter system (IBP) and it is non-invasive like the standard upper arm sphygmomanometer (NBP). (wikipedia.org)
- Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by a column of blood against the arterial wall. (medicinenet.com)
Adult1
- It is important to note that this article will discuss adult pulse pressure. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Cooker4
- Instead, I put myself in the pressure cooker when I feel insecure about my abilities or effectiveness. (creation.com)
- This can cause customers to overfill the pot, leading to hot food and liquids potentially being ejected when the pressure cooker is vented using the quick release method or opened while its contents are pressurized. (yahoo.com)
- If it is, immediately stop using the pressure cooker and contact Best Buy for a free replacement of the inner pot and floating locking valve for signaling pressure. (yahoo.com)
- If you have further questions, you can contact Best Buy directly at 888-359‐4485 from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm CT or online at https://www.recallrtr.com/pc or www.bestbuy.com by clicking on 'Pressure Cooker Recall' in the Home Page banner or by clicking on 'Product Recalls' at the bottom of the home page under 'Orders & Purchases.

Drops below1
- When your tire's air pressure drops below 25 percent of the recommended manufacturer number located on your vehicle's door placard and inside your owner's manual the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is triggered and a warning light will appear on the dashboard. (belletire.com)
Spontaneous1
- [ 1 ] Approximately 37% of patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria also have pressure urticaria. (medscape.com)
Pulse pressure4
- The evaluation of Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) allows for goal-directed fluid management in sedated and ventilated patients. (wikipedia.org)
- Read on to find out about wide pulse pressure, what it means, and what it could indicate. (medicalnewstoday.com)
- Pulse pressure (PP) refers to the difference between SBP and DBP . (medicalnewstoday.com)
- What does a wide pulse pressure indicate? (medicalnewstoday.com)
Risk2
- Results of a trial using an intensive, 4-year program aimed at blood pressure lowering showed that intervention reduced not only blood pressure (BP), but also significantly reduced the risk of total dementia over that period. (medscape.com)
- In the absence of curative treatment, the primary prevention of dementia through risk factor reduction, such as blood pressure lowering, becomes a public health priority. (medscape.com)
