systolic blood pressure measured in the auscultatory method is more accurate than that measured in the palpitation method because the palpitation method is prone to more human errors such as how strong the pulse is‚ where it is located‚ how hard the wrist is pressed during palpitation and a stethoscope which is used in the auscultatory method is more sensitive than feeling a pulse. Hearing the pulse involves less human error than feeling it. 2. The maximum pressure exerted when blood is ejected

of cardiovascular disease. The leading cause of heart attacks is CAD (Coronary Artery Disease). Cad occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries‚ the tubes that supply blood to the heart. After a while the plaque starts to build up and restricts the blood flow causing the muscles to work harder‚ this may sometimes cause some pain and discomfort. A heart attack occurs when the plaque totally blocks an artery. Doctors have many different ways to determine if a person is at risk for CAD.
