[Myocardial damage in hemorrhagic hypotension]
Abstract:
Damage to the myocard caused by the loss of blood was studied in experiments on dogs. After long-lasting hypotonia focal lesions of the myocard of degenerative type have been found. Desorganization of the myofilaments and invagination of the disc could be seen in the area of the intercalar discs. Filaments in the other regions have not shown any alterations. In the mitochondria hypoxic lesions were revealed. One part of the alterations are not reversible. After 48 hours of survival focal necrosis with hyper contraction and calcification could be observed. It was surrounded by cellular infiltration containing mononuclear cells. Cellular necrosis revealed, may lie on the basis of the central lesion of the circulation appearing after long-lastng hypotonia.

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...
