This paper reviews arterial pressure waveforms and contrasts the differences in waveforms imposed by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. It explores questions regarding blood pressure ...

Arterial stiffness due to is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease but is very difficult to measure. A new method for measuring arterial stiffness has been developed. This simple, non-invasive ...

Group 1 pulmonary hypertension (or pulmonary arterial hypertension) is a rare, highly complex, and progressive disorder that is incurable and ultimately can lead to premature death. PAH causes ...

Vasodilatory shock that does not respond to high-dose vasopressors is associated with high mortality. We investigated the effectiveness of angiotensin II for the treatment of patients with this ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Tissue perfusion pressure may be a new target for BP optimization in circulatory shock. TPP was significantly ...

Low blood pressure, or hypotension, can be dangerous as it impairs oxygen delivery to vital organs. When mean arterial pressure drops, organs like the kidneys, liver, brain, and heart are vulnerable ...

An ideal blood pressure is 120/80 which is spelt as 120 over 80. In a blood pressure reading, 120 is systolic and 80 is diastolic. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is a critical component of blood ...

Short-term mortality outcomes in shock were noninferior among critically ill patients managed without vs with early arterial catheter insertion.

How Does Blood Pressure Differ in the Iab-Pumped Patient and Which Pressures Should Be Documented? Figure 2 illustrates the familiar arterial pressure waveform representative of the non-IAB-pumped ...
