[Reaction of blood circulation to antiorthostatic hypokinesia in men aged 45-52]
Abstract:
Regional and central circulation reactions to 30-day antiorthostatic hypokinesia were investigated in 15 men, aged 45 to 52 years, with early signs of cerebrovascular and aortic atherosclerosis, neurocirculatory dystonia of the hypertensive type, and hypertensive disease of stage I. Regional and central hemodynamics of the subjects of the three groups during and immediately after exposure developed in a different manner.

Physiological Factors:
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)...

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
