    Study Notes

    Blood Pressure Ranges

    • Normal blood pressure is generally defined as a reading of less than 120/80 mmHg.
    • Elevated blood pressure ranges from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic mmHg.
    • Hypertension stage 1 is categorized by readings of 130-139 systolic or 80-89 diastolic mmHg.
    • Hypertension stage 2 shows significant elevation, characterized by readings of 140/90 mmHg and above.
    • A hypertensive crisis occurs when blood pressure readings exceed 180/120 mmHg, requiring immediate medical attention.

    Heart Rate Conditions

    • Bradycardia is defined as a resting heart rate less than 60 beats per minute.
    • Tachycardia indicates a resting heart rate exceeding 100 beats per minute.

    Atrial Rhythm Disorders

    • Atrial fibrillation is characterized by an irregular and often rapid atrial rhythm, increasing the risk of stroke and heart complications.
    • Atrial flutter is an irregular and fast atrial rhythm, generally less chaotic than atrial fibrillation.
    • Atrial fibrillation is considered the most serious type of atrial rhythm disorder, often linked to conditions such as heart disease, trauma, and drug use.
    • Factors contributing to the development of atrial fibrillation include a sedentary lifestyle, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption.

    Heart Rate Measurement

    • The radial pulse, felt at the wrist, is commonly utilized for quick heart rate assessment.
