Blood pressure

Anyway...

I filled out a long questionnaire online, and after the nurse checked my BP, blood pressure, and iron, she closed the office door.

She said, I checked yes for the question.

have you had sex in the last three months with anyone hiv positive what she accidentally checked

They knew who ate the most nuts.

They also had follow up who developed high blood pressure.

And they found that the people in these studies that ate the most nuts had a 16 percent lower risk of developing high blood pressure.

Well, how do you know you got high blood pressure? You got to have a home blood pressure cuff or better than that.

You got to have a high-low-core blood pressure band.

I mentioned that last PCAST.

I still am enthusiastic about the high-low-core blood pressure band.

I will put the link in the show notes.

So that circulation must be always 100% flowing.

When that is done, BP will be off.

Yeah, BP.

No.

When you don't have that BP, the pressure is always on.

So there will not be ruptured arteries and veins, even fracture in the brain, stroke, right? Now, most of your problem, diabetes.

Diabetes.

You're talking about ABPM and HBPM.

Yes, specifically ABPM, which stands for Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, and HBPM, which is Home Blood Pressure Monitoring.

ABPM is particularly brilliant.

That's the one you wear for 24 hours, right?

Yeah, you wear a specialized cuff that automatically inflates every 20 to 30 minutes during your normal workday and every hour while you are asleep.

That's the big one.

Like if I get stressed out at my desk every single day at 2 p.m., am I permanently breaking my cardiovascular plumbing system?

To answer that, we have to transition from looking at isolated spikes to understanding a concept called blood pressure variability or BPV.

I never let anything influence me like that, the mind and that sort of thing.

My blood pressure's around 140 over 100.

Owie.

Kidneys, sweetheart.

You've got to work on your health.

You're not just...

My blood pressure, and that's a given story.

Blood pressure, think blood pressure.

I'm like, do you think I meant to? I was like, this is really hard.

And she then looked at me and my monitor's going off because my BP's plummeted.

My colour's drained off my face.

And she's like, are you alright? And I was like, no, I'm not.

You want me to talk to you, but I can't talk to you because my mouth is dry.

You're telling me that I'm not very well.

My BP's not in the ground.

And you want me to stop, but this is my last chance.

Hi, I'm Dr. Ken Berry, family physician.

And in this short video, I want to tell you about some research I've uncovered that shows that sunlight can actually lower your blood pressure.

Most of us have been taught our entire life to be afraid of the sun and to avoid sunlight at all costs, slathering on SPF 150 or whatever the latest number's up to lately.

but that's absolutely inappropriate.

I've suspected for some time that sunlight does more for human beings than just convert cholesterol into vitamin D, and it turns out I was right.

I've uncovered some research that you might be interested in, and I'm gonna talk about it in this video.

If you know someone who has high blood pressure or hypertension, and they're also afraid of the sun, then please share this video with them.

Also, you're welcome to share this on your Facebook, on wherever you want to share it.

He is found to have ST elevations and leads V1 to V4 and is taken for emergency coronary angiography, which demonstrates 99% proximal LAD occlusion.

During the procedure, he becomes hypotensive, with a blood pressure of 74 over 55 millimeters of mercury, and tachycardic, with a heart rate of 122 BPM.

Norepinephrine is initiated.

Right heart catheterization demonstrates elevated left and right-sided filling pressure with low cardiac index.

Cardiogenic shock is estimated to occur in approximately 10% of patients with STEMI and is associated with an early mortality rate of 40 to 50%.

Several types of devices for temporary mechanical circulatory support, MCS, are available and have been studied in patients with cardiogenic shock with variable efficacy and increased risk of vascular complications.

IABP counterpulsation improves coronary perfusion and reduces cardiac afterload.

It is relatively easy to use and has a small insertion profile of 8 French, which is associated with lower rates of vascular axis site complications when compared with other MCS devices.
