Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture. Lovelier now but dressed for a funeral. Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall. To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall.
arterial pressure - the pressure of the circulating blood on the arteries; arterial pressure is the product of cardiac output and vascular resistance. venous pressure - the pressure exerted on the walls of the veins by the circulating blood. circulation - movement through a circuit; especially the movement of blood through the heart and blood vessels.
Mean arterial pressure can be approximated by adding one-third of the pulse pressure to the diastolic pressure. For a person with a blood pressure of 120/80, for example, the mean arterial pressure would be approximately 80 + 1/3 (40) = 93 mmHg. Mean arterial pressure = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure A rise in total peripheral resistance and cardiac rate increases the diastolic pressure more than it increases the systolic pressure.
