Aorta

The aorta (aortas or aortae) is the main and largest artery in the human body, originating from the left ventricle of the heart, branching upwards immediately after, and extending down to the abdomen, where it splits at the aortic bifurcation into two smaller arteries (the common iliac arteries).

See Systolic hypertension and Aorta

Blood pressure

Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels.

See Systolic hypertension and Blood pressure

Cardiac cycle

The cardiac cycle is the performance of the human heart from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next.

See Systolic hypertension and Cardiac cycle

Compliance (physiology)

Compliance is the ability of a hollow organ (vessel) to distend and increase volume with increasing transmural pressure or the tendency of a hollow organ to resist recoil toward its original dimensions on application of a distending or compressing force.

See Systolic hypertension and Compliance (physiology)

Coronary ischemia

Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, or cardiac ischemia,Potochny, Evy.

See Systolic hypertension and Coronary ischemia

Heart failure

Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.

See Systolic hypertension and Heart failure

Immersed boundary method

In computational fluid dynamics, the immersed boundary method originally referred to an approach developed by Charles Peskin in 1972 to simulate fluid-structure (fiber) interactions.

See Systolic hypertension and Immersed boundary method

Left ventricular hypertrophy

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is thickening of the heart muscle of the left ventricle of the heart, that is, left-sided ventricular hypertrophy and resulting increased left ventricular mass.

See Systolic hypertension and Left ventricular hypertrophy

Lifestyle medicine

Lifestyle medicine (LM) is a branch of medicine focused on preventive healthcare and self-care dealing with prevention, research, education, and treatment of disorders caused by lifestyle factors and preventable causes of death such as nutrition, physical inactivity, chronic stress, and self-destructive behaviors including the consumption of tobacco products and drug or alcohol abuse.

See Systolic hypertension and Lifestyle medicine

Low sodium diet

A low sodium diet is a diet that includes no more than 1,500 to 2,400 mg of sodium per day.

See Systolic hypertension and Low sodium diet

Medicine

Medicine is the science and practice of caring for patients, managing the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, treatment, palliation of their injury or disease, and promoting their health.

See Systolic hypertension and Medicine

Meta-analysis is the statistical combination of the results of multiple studies addressing a similar research question.

See Systolic hypertension and Meta-analysis

Natural food

Natural food and all-natural food are terms in food labeling and marketing with several definitions, often implying foods that are not manufactured by processing.

See Systolic hypertension and Natural food

Pulse pressure

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

See Systolic hypertension and Pulse pressure

Randomized controlled trial

A randomized controlled trial (or randomized control trial; RCT) is a form of scientific experiment used to control factors not under direct experimental control.

See Systolic hypertension and Randomized controlled trial

Sail

A sail is a tensile structure, which is made from fabric or other membrane materials, that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including sailing ships, sailboats, windsurfers, ice boats, and even sail-powered land vehicles.

See Systolic hypertension and Sail

Weight loss

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue), or lean mass (namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue).

See Systolic hypertension and Weight loss

Windkessel effect

Windkessel effect (German: Windkesseleffekt) is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries (Windkessel vessels) and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles.
