A wide pulse pressure occurs when your pulse pressure is more than 60 mmHg. For example, a blood pressure reading of 145/80 mmHg (or, a pulse pressure of 65) can indicate a wide pulse pressure. 6 ...

A wide pulse pressure does put people at a higher risk for heart attack. However, I don’t understand why these conditions would come after a gastrointestinal bleed.

It is well known that aortic stenosis characteristically results in a narrow pulse pressure whereas pure aortic insufficiency results in a wide pulse pressure with low mean, dicrotic and diastolic ...

Increased pulse pressure (PP) and decreased mean arterial pressure (MAP) are strong prognostic predictors of adverse cardiovascular events. Recently, the International Consortium for Blood ...

Paul Elliott, Martin Tobin, Cornelia van Duijn and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure, identifying six new loci influencing these two ...

Low diastolic blood pressure is most commonly caused by stiff blood vessels, especially the aorta. This tends to happen as we get older. However, a leaky aortic valve can also cause low diastolic ...
