Genetic Determinants of Blood Pressure Regulation

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 1999
Blood pressure homeostasis in humans reflects the coordinate interactions of cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance, renal volume control, and CNS integration in response to short- and long-term environmental stimuli. Variations in mean arterial pressure within the population include a significant hereditary component.

Nutrition-related determinants of blood pressure

Preventive Medicine, 1985
The importance of high blood pressure as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has led to extensive research in the etiology of hypertension. Regulation of blood pressure (BP) in humans involves many different organs and physiological processes that contribute either directly to the determination of BP level or indirectly by modifying ...

Necrophysiological determination of blood pressure in fishes

Naturwissenschaften, 2005
Bony fishes have an elastic chamber between the heart and aorta, the bulbus arteriosus, which has unique mechanical properties. On inflation, the isolated bulbus is initially very stiff but soon becomes extremely compliant yielding a steady (plateau) pressure upon further inflation, which appears to be similar in any given species.

Correlates of the Hemodynamic Determinants of Blood Pressure

Hypertension, 1996
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of sex, race, lean body mass, and fat mass with the hemodynamic determinants of blood pressure, including stroke volume, heart rate, and total peripheral vascular resistance. The study included 201 subjects aged 6 to 17 years, 105 of whom were male and 98 of whom were black. Lean

DETERMINATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE AT THE ANKLE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
In the routine study of patients with hypertension, the determination of the blood pressure in the legs is now recognized as a necessity. Usually this pressure is obtained by placing a large, specially constructed blood pressure cuff around the thigh and auscultating over the popliteal artery.

Determinants of blood pressure in Jerusalem schoolchildren

Preventive Medicine, 1984
In 1982, 113 first- and second-graders attending an elementary school in West Jerusalem had their blood pressure (BP), height, weight, and resting pulse measured. Three successive BP readings were taken. The mean of the second and third readings was used for data analysis.

Determinants of blood pressure in childhood and adolescence

Journal of Hypertension, 1989
Relationships between blood pressure and dietary factors were investigated in 434 boys and 450 girls aged 9 years. Dietary data were obtained from a food-frequency questionnaire which was completed by parents. This was used to estimate daily energy intake and the intake of 14 nutrients considered likely to influence blood pressure.

Blood pressure determination in children

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1939
Summary When one plots the readings for systolic pressure obtained with cuffs of different widths by the usual auscultatory methods against the cuff width, a curve is obtained which is characteristic for each individual. in most cases, it rises sharply as one passes to successively narrower cuffs, and flattens out in the region of wide cuffs.

Determinants of Blood Pressure in the First Decades of Life

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1990
The blood pressure (BP) in children has been studied since the beginning of this century, and in the past decade the potential association between childhood BP levels and adult hypertension has gained increasing interest. From several longitudinal studies, many of them comprising large numbers of children and youngsters, it appears that the BP of ...

Recommendations for Blood Pressure Determination by Sphygmomanometry

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1988
Excerpt How many times each day does the average internist take a patient's blood pressure? How many more times each day does the internist review blood pressure measurements obtained by others?
