1. What is the pulse pressure difference?
When our heart contracts, we supply blood to squeeze out, which is called systolic blood pressure, and then we draw venous blood back when we relax to make up the diastolic blood pressure, so the systolic blood pressure is diastolic. Then think about it, all these factors that can prevent us from squeezing out arterial blood and make our heart have to work hard will lead to an increase in our systolic blood pressure.
second, why does it get higher?
The simplest or most common one is called atherosclerosis. When atherosclerosis happens, after our blood vessels are blocked, the blood vessels become narrow and their elasticity decreases. So think about it, a water pipe is thinner and there is still a lot of scale in it. If you want this water to pass through as soon as possible, you must not put more pressure on it. So the heart is the same, so when we have atherosclerosis, the elasticity of the heart decreases, so the systolic pressure is one level, and the heart should have bounced and stopped playing, and then the inside is blocked again. Then our heart wants to pump this blood out. What if you block it? Then we will pressurize it and squeeze it out as much as possible. Therefore, when atherosclerosis occurs, the elasticity of blood vessels is poor, and the aperture of blood vessels is small, so our systolic blood pressure will rise. Then when we diastolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure means that our heart will expand and draw this blood vessel back.
3. When is the pulse pressure difference high?
That is related to our heart rate. The faster the heartbeat, the higher our diastolic blood pressure. The slower the heartbeat, the lower our diastolic blood pressure and the smaller the pulse pressure difference, so it is related to the heart rate.
4. Why is pulse pressure difference related to heart rate?
People who exercise regularly, people who exercise regularly, and people who have good cardiopulmonary function tend to have a low heart rate, so your heart rate is relatively low, more than 6 times, and we ordinary people exercise less, more than 7 times, ten times and nine times are normal, so it is also related to heart rate. Then there is aortic valve insufficiency, and this is heart disease. Then there are some B vitamins, especially vitamin B1. When vitamin B1 is deficient, sugar metabolism is blocked. As we all know, B vitamins are involved in the metabolism of all substances, so B1 is deficient, and sugar metabolism is blocked, so lactic acid and pyruvic acid accumulate. After accumulation, our small blood vessels expand and small blood vessels expand, while the blood flow resistance decreases, so the diastolic pressure decreases and the pulse pressure increases. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the pulse pressure difference is about 2 to 6 mm Hg. If it is less than 2, the pulse pressure difference is too small, which is common in young adults. So either way, we'd better go to the hospital for a check-up, which at least shows that our health is not very good.
So relatively speaking, the proportion of atherosclerosis in our country is getting higher and higher, which makes the age of hypertension higher and lower, so many young people in their twenties already have hypertension, so in order to protect our cardiovascular system, can we not lose too much weight as far as possible? Second, you must eat enough of what you should eat, and you can't eat what you shouldn't eat. Third, do proper exercise. If the exercise is good, our heart function will be strong enough, and then our muscle mass will be large enough, and our body fat rate will be enough. Er, in this case, our various functions will be better.
