Hypertension Normal ABP : the pressure exerted by blood on the vessel wall of the arterial system from the beginning of the aorta to the start of the arterioles‚ it is about 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic. Arterial blood pressure (ABP) = cardiac output (CO) X total peripheral resistance Hypertension : sustained elevation of the systemic ABP > 139 mmHg systolic & > 89 mmHg diastolic. Therefore : so long as CO is constant is relatively constant ; a change in the ABP is mainly due to a change

the part of the cardiac cycle where no further depolarisation can take place. Secondly it is the relative refractory period where depolarisation of the cells can occur but only if the stimulus is strong enough‚ and finally there is the diminished refractory period where the cells are still resistant to depolarisation but it can still occur even with a relatively small stimulus (Catalano‚ 2002). The total duration of a compensatory break and an extra systole is equal to two cardiac cycles. Extra systole

Maternal mortality due to sepsis is worryingly increasing through developed and developing countries.
