  2. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    A high pulse pressure combined with bradycardia and an irregular breathing pattern is associated with increased intracranial pressure, a condition called Cushing's triad seen in people after head trauma with increased intracranial pressure. [16] Common causes of widening pulse pressure include: [3] [medical citation needed] Anemia; Aortic ...

  3. Patent ductus arteriosus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_ductus_arteriosus

    If the PDA is moderate or large, widened pulse pressure and bounding peripheral pulses are frequently present, reflecting increased left ventricular stroke volume and diastolic run-off of blood into the (initially lower-resistance) pulmonary vascular bed. [4] Eisenmenger physiology is pulmonary hypertension due to a left-to-right shunt ...

  4. Aortic regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_regurgitation

    Aortic regurgitation causes both volume overload (elevated preload) and pressure overload (elevated afterload) of the heart. [14] The volume overload, due to elevated pulse pressure and the systemic effects of neuroendocrine hormones causes left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). [9] There is both concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy in AI.

  5. Cushing reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cushing_reflex

    Cushing reflex (also referred to as the vasopressor response, the Cushing effect, the Cushing reaction, the Cushing phenomenon, the Cushing response, or Cushing's Law) is a physiological nervous system response to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) that results in Cushing's triad of increased blood pressure, irregular breathing, and bradycardia. [1]

  6. Hyperdynamic circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdynamic_circulation

    Hyperdynamic circulation is abnormally increased circulatory volume. Systemic vasodilation and the associated decrease in peripheral vascular resistance results in decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and decreased blood pressure, presenting usually with a collapsing pulse, but sometimes a bounding pulse.

  7. Systolic hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systolic_hypertension

    If the systolic blood pressure is elevated (>140) with a normal (<90) diastolic blood pressure (DBP), it is called isolated systolic hypertension. [2] Eighty percent of people with systolic hypertension are over the age of 65 years old. [3] Isolated systolic hypertension is a specific type of widened (or high) pulse pressure.
