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.
