Central aortic blood pressure (CAP or CASP) is the blood pressure at the root of aorta. Studies have shown the importance of central aortic pressure, especially...

umbilical arterial, and intracranial pressures. Central aortic blood pressure, which, compared to peripheral blood pressure, has been shown to correlate more...

Aortic dissection (AD) occurs when an injury to the innermost layer of the aorta allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing the...

pressure would be higher due to less compliance of the aorta. See also: Central aortic blood pressure In hypertensive patients, a high pulse pressure...

edema at pressures above 25 mmHg. Aortic pressure, also called central aortic blood pressure, or central blood pressure, is the blood pressure at the root...

where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries). The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the...

MAP = mean arterial pressure PP = pulse pressure DAP = diastolic aortic pressure DPB = diastolic blood pressure Mean arterial pressure is a major determinant...

artery disease and include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and being male. The aortic valve usually has three leaflets and is...

aortic wall more susceptible to the influence of blood pressure. Other reports have suggested the serine protease granzyme B may contribute to aortic...

high blood pressure, is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure usually...

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a form of heart disease in which two of the leaflets of the aortic valve fuse during development in the womb resulting in...

Aortic valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure whereby a failing aortic valve is replaced with an artificial heart valve. The aortic valve may...

blood pressure. The aortic arch is the connection between the ascending and descending aorta, and its central part is formed by the left 4th aortic arch...

carotids) and in the aortic arch. They sense the blood pressure and relay the information to the brain, so that a proper blood pressure can be maintained...

gravity causes blood pressure in the head to drop. This is sensed by stretch receptors in the walls of vessels in the carotid sinus and aortic arch. These...

pressure (MSP) or mean systemic filling pressure (MSFP) is defined as the mean pressure that exists in the circulatory system when there is no blood motion...

regulation of the pH, osmotic pressure and temperature of the whole body, and the protection from microbial and mechanical harm. Blood is a non-Newtonian fluid...

caused by a stiffened aortic valve that makes it progressively harder to open, thus requiring increased generation of blood pressure in the left ventricle...

given. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) – a device inserted into the aorta that mechanically raises the blood pressure. Use of Intra-aortic balloon pumps...

for blood pressure to decrease on standing due to gravity. The system relies on specialized neurons, known as baroreceptors, chiefly in the aortic arch...
