[Circulatory insufficiency in the light of neuroendocrine and metabolic disorders]
Abstract:
Certain metabolic disorders characterizing disturbances both in neuroendocrine control and in metabolic processes at the cell and tissue levels were revealed in 472 patients with rheumatic heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis, and cor pulmonale. The disturbance in the adrenal function was of a dissociated character, manifested by increase in sympathoadrenal and decrease in glucocorticoid activity. The indices of pentosophosphate cycle and erythrocyte and blood serum enzymes studied testify to deep changes in the state of the erythron, marked both by breaks and by adaptation to hypoxia caused by circulatory insufficiency.

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...
