1)
a patient whose systolic blood pressure drops from 210 mm/hg to 100 mm/hg in 10 minutes after they took nitroglycerin. calculate the patients rate of change in blood pressure
Answers
Answer:
one
Explanation:
Answer:
Rate of change in BP = 210-100/10 = 11 mm/min.
Explanation:
A persistent, non-physiologic rise in blood pressure is called hypertension (HTN);
1) Having a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 140 mm Hg or higher is a sign of it.
2) a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of at least 90 mm Hg;
3) taking medication to lower blood pressure; or
(4) having received a diagnosis of HTN from a medical professional at least twice.
In 2008, WHO estimates that nearly 1 billion people worldwide had uncontrolled HTN. By 2030, the American Heart Association (AHA) predicts that 41% of Americans will have been diagnosed with HTN—an increase of 8.4% from 2012 estimates.
HTN affects 7.3% of people between the ages of 18 and 39, 32.4% of those between the ages of 40 and 59, and 65.0% of those over the age of 59.The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) shows that HTN is more common in men than in women up to the age of 45 and stays the same after that.
When blood pressure is too high, it's called hypertension. Two numbers are used to represent blood pressure. When the heart contracts or beats, the pressure in the blood vessels is represented by the first number (systolic).The pressure in the vessels when the heart is at rest between beats is represented by the second (diastolic) number.
