[Age differences in the state of hemodynamics in diabetes mellitus patients]
Abstract:
Age-related changes in hemodynamics assessed with the help of integral rheography were compared for two age groups of patients suffering from type I diabetes mellitus (DM). Twenty-three patients were under 40 (group 1) and twenty-five were over 40 (group 2). Age-related changes typical for central hemodynamics in health disappeared in decompensated DM and were not registered after DM compensation. More profound hemodynamic affections were recorded in group 1 patients who had probably impaired parasympathetic innervation of the heart.

Alterations in Blood Pressure
Hypertension (High blood pressure)
Hypertension occurs when blood pressure readings consistently exceed the normal range. It is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure (the top number, indicating pressure while the heart beats)...
Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.
