![]() The example I gave in the OP was from a morning when I was laying down. I also want to see if others haven't thought about this and that if they did the measurements, it might actually be more common than people realize. I want to know if I can still live a long life if I keep getting readings of like 18 and 21 on a daily basis. I want to hear from others who experience this chronically, so I can find out if the prognosis is still good for me. I think the lowest I've seen mine is 15 while standing. I just basically want to feel less alone because mine is, every single day, in a very low range. The least I've measured that I can remember was 12 with a BP of 52/40. I have noticed some very narrow pulse pressures when I see TTT results on others so it may be a POTS thing. I'm not sure narrow pulse pressure (less than 30 difference between systolic and diastolic) is common. She didn't act like she knew what I was talking about. I said, well, there's not much in the middle. In the ED, the patient was evaluated and cardiac tamponade confirmed. The nurse said good blood pressure or something like that. Paramedics found the patient hypotensive with a narrowed pulse pressure and suspected cardiac tamponade. Recently I was at a rheumatologist appointment and my BP was 100 over 82 sitting. It's more often less than 30 difference no matter what. Tension pneumothorax or other severe air. I don't have a reading this minute but my systolic will often drop and my diastolic may go up upon standing. (a) Narrow pulse pressure may be caused by: Damping of pulse wave (See below). Narrow pulse pressureĮven though there are no commonly accepted values for narrow pulse pressure, low pulse pressure values can be an indication for heart conditions such as cardiac insufficiency (also known as congestive heart failure).I think about this all the time because mine tends to be too narrow even lying/sitting down. Arteriosclerosis can also lead to isolated systolic hypertension (high blood pressure). Arteriosclerosis is particularly prevalent in people over the age of 60 and should be monitored by older people. Illnesses that can affect your pulse pressure include aortic insufficiency (valvular heart defect), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), and arteriosclerosis (a pathological storage of cholesterol in the wall layer of the arteries which reduces the elasticity of the blood vessels). Increased pulse pressure can be triggered by a variety of factors. Moreover, Harvard Medical School found out that high pulse pressure poses the risk for atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that a high blood pressure amplitude is a better predictor for cardiovascular diseases than systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A study showed that an increase in pulse pressure by 10 mmHg raised the risk of stroke and heart attack by about 20 percent. High pulse pressure affects the circulation of coronary vessels and causes a reduction in oxygen supply in the heart muscle.Īs a result, wide pulse pressure can cause cardiovascular diseases. Values above 50 mmHg are commonly referred to as wide pulse pressure, whereas values below 25 mmHg are referred to as narrow pulse pressure. ![]() Nonetheless, there are benchmarks for your orientation: A blood pressure amplitude between 25 mmHg and 50 mmHg is often referred to as normal pulse pressure. Normal pulse pressureĬontrary to blood pressure - where there are defined values of healthy blood pressure - there are no generally recognized norms for pulse pressure values. When reading your blood pressure you can either import your values automatically via Bluetooth and Apple Health into Cora (with these blood pressure monitors) or log your values manually to get a graphical evaluation of your pulse pressure in the app’s dashboard. The blood pressure app Cora Health is ideal for analyzing your pulse pressure. Learn more: How to measure read your blood pressure The pulse pressure can be measured by reading your blood pressure. However, the blood pressure amplitude is also dependent on the amount of blood ejected from the heart (the so called stroke volume) and the time between two heart beats (the so called diastole). In general, the blood pressure amplitude is primarily an indicator for the elasticity of your blood vessels which decreases with increasing age. There are several factors which influence the pulse pressure. App laden What influences the pulse pressure? ![]()
