BP uses systolic and diastolic blood pressure measures to determine the amount of force pushing against artery walls when the heart is at rest and contracting. Systolic BP (SBP) reflects the change in artery pressures related to ventricular SV (McLean‚ 2015). In this case study‚ the underlying arrhythmia for the patient was determined to be atrial fibrillation (AF). Patient’s last BP measure was 80/50. Will

such as arthritis. when i went around with the nurse I saw as the nurse took vitals of the patient‚ such as their blood pressure (BP)‚ heart rate‚ temperature‚ pulse‚ oxygen level and etc. I was also taught that pulse is the rhythmic beat of the arteries caused by the contractions of the heart. The nurse used a little tripod on wheels that had all the materials to take the signs. The nurse wrote down all the vitals on a chart and then moved on to the next patient and did the same. I also was also

the constriction but the heart would continue to pump the blood with the same or greater force. The dive response prevents this from happening because it lowers the heart rate so that a lesser quantity of blood is pumped out through the constricted arteries. 2.)

Lifestyle Those who do not exercise are more likely to develop hypertension. These people tend to have higher heartbeat rates than those who work out‚ and this forces the heart to work harder during each contraction. This puts more pressure on the arteries‚ so the propensity for heart diseases or heart attacks becomes greater. A sedentary lifestyle is also a precursor to being overweight or obese‚ which is another hypertension risk factor. The heavier the weight‚ the more blood is necessary to deliver

I. Public Health Problem Coronary heart disease is a chronic disease in which plaque‚ fatty deposits‚ builds up inside the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. The build up of plaque is called atherosclerosis and can develop for many years undetected. Some common symptoms of coronary heart disease are chest pain‚ shortness of breath‚ and extreme fatigue with exertion‚ in turn increasing the risk of other health issues such as angina pectoris and eventually heart attacks. Today‚ coronary
