Lecture 22: Control of Blood Pressure
Blood flows only when its pressure is higher at one place than in another, and it flows always from the place of higher pressure towards the place of...

Nutritional Influences on Blood Pressure
Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, affecting ~50% of the U.S. adult population. Obesity can lead to hypertension, but...

Relationship between defecation status and blood pressure level or blood pressure variability
Blood pressure variability is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. Defecation status has also been associated with the risk of...

The Ergonomics of Blood Pressure Measurment
The most commonly used method to measure blood pressure in adults is middle upper arm sphygmomanomtery. However, different cuff-sizes can result in...
-
Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Regulation
Blood pressure is proportional to the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance. Cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and pulse...
