Do Those Number 130/87 Mean? What Do They Relate To In The Cardiac Cycle?
1. What do those numbers (130/87) mean? What do they relate to in the cardiac cycle?
The numbers 130/87 is the blood pressure of the patient. The top number 130, is the reading that is received when the heart is in contraction and blood is pushed out of the heart into the rest of the body (this is called systole). The bottom number 87, is the reading when the heart is at it relaxed state and is being refilled with blood (this is called diastole.)
2. This deposition of platelets and fibrin can cause a rapid rise in blood pressure for unknown reasons. This condition is known as acute hypertension, or a hypertensive emergency. Nora has a number of things working against her. Explain how: increased weight, dehydration, and plaques in vascular tissue may affect blood flow.
Nora has continued to gain weight, when weight is gained the body has to make more blood vessels to supply blood to those areas where the weight is gained. When more …show more content…
Blood pressured is measured by the end-systolic volume (the volume of blood in a ventricle at the end of contraction) and the end diastole volume (the volume of blood in the ventricle at end load or filling). The heat from the Water will also aid the body in becoming dehydrated this will cause the viscosity (the resistance of blood flow) of the blood to become higher, making it harder for it to flow through the blood stream imposing Venous return (the rate of blood flow back to the heart.) venous return normally limits Cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped out of a ventricle per beat). Cardiac output is calculated as the product of stroke volume (the volume of blood pumped from one ventricle of the heart with each beat) and heart rate (the number of times the heart beats per one
