| 1. | This increased force requirement equates to an increase in pulse pressure.
|
| 2. | A narrow pulse pressure is a sign of aortic stenosis.
|
| 3. | This would result in an increase in pulse pressure.
|
| 4. | This can build up due to isolated systolic hypertension with a widened pulse pressure.
|
| 5. | Narrowed pulse pressure might also be observed.
|
| 6. | Huntly Millar's contributions to the non-invasive measurement of pulse pressure are well known.
|
| 7. | These catheter-tipped manometers made possible depiction of the changes in pulse pressure waveforms with age.
|
| 8. | The loss of arterial compliance that occurs with aging explains the elevated pulse pressures found in elderly patients.
|
| 9. | The result is an elevated pulse pressure ( normal is 40mm Hg ), due to catecholamine release.
|
| 10. | A cannula or catheter inserted into an artery may be used to measure pulse pressure or pulmonary wedge pressures.
