In patients with diastolic dysfunction, the cornerstones of treatment depend on the underlying cause. |
This decreases the resting potential of the myocytes of the SA node while increasing the rate of diastolic depolarization. |
It relaxes slowly in early diastole and offers greater resistance to filling in late diastole, so that diastolic pressures are elevated. |
The technical terms systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure, etc are clear enough, but, curiously, what should be most objective numeration is least so. |
Dependency of the arm below heart level leads to an overestimation of systolic and diastolic pressures and raising the arm above heart level leads to underestimation. |
There were similar reductions in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure between the two products. |
