The Vertical City It is pulsatile, and a systolic bruit or a “thrilling” murmur may be heard over it. Manual of Surgery Volume First: General Surgery. Sixth Edition. We find here, just as in the case of light, that our will is engaged within the eye in a definite way; a systolic effect proceeds from dark, a diastolic effect from light. Man or Matter If the systolic blood pressure is altogether too low for the age of the person or for the previous history, it should be allowed to become higher, if possible, before much exercise is begun. Disturbances of the Heart A pressure picture may be normal but a systolic reading, whatever it may be, is not accurately designated as normal. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Clinically the diastolic is probably more important than the systolic. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z In most cases a distinct thrill is felt on placing the hand over the swelling, and a blowing, systolic murmur may be heard with the stethoscope.

Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z A real auricular fibrillation shows a semiparalysis of the auricles, and during this condition normal systolic contractions do not occur, although there are small rapid twitchings of different muscle fibers in the auricles. Disturbances of the Heart On the other hand, the pressure must not be released too rapidly, else one runs over the points of systolic and diastolic pressure and the readings are grossly inaccurate. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The habit of speaking of any systolic figure as normal should be broken. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z On palpation a systolic thrill may be detected, but the presence of a murmur is neither constant nor characteristic. Manual of Surgery Volume First: General Surgery. Sixth Edition. Fluctuations of the systolic pressure alone, it is insisted upon, have very little meaning.

Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z This allows more blood to enter the left ventricle, and the left ventricle, acting perfectly on the blood which it receives, causes a good systolic pressure in the aorta and the systemic arteries. Disturbances of the Heart The only accurate method of determining both the systolic and diastolic pressure, but especially the diastolic, is by the so-called auscultatory method. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z This is the systolic pressure and is read off on the scale. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If the systolic pressure does not also rise, as in a normal heart following exercise, we will say, the pulse pressure falls. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z A high systolic pressure does not necessarily mean that a great deal of blood is forced into the capillaries. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Sometimes the diastolic pressure is high and the systolic low and the pressure pulse small because of heart insufficiency; such a condition is often improved by digitalis. Disturbances of the Heart The maximum pressure produced by the systole of the left ventricle of the heart is known as the maximum or systolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The systolic pressure varies considerably under conditions which are by no means abnormal.

Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Besides the diminished intensity of the apex beat and its greater diffusion, the valve sounds may be muffled, and sooner or later there may be systolic murmurs over the different orifices. Disturbances of the Heart The systolic pressure is always fluctuating as it depends upon so many conditions, and the calls of the body except during sleep are many and various. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z As a matter of fact the real systolic pressure can not be determined. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z In other words the systolic pressure is always increased to greater degree than the diastolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Some think that an abnormally low pressure, that is, a systolic below 90 mm., suggests that the patient is likely to react unduly to the strain of labor. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z While the condition is best diagnosed by tracings taken simultaneously of the apex beat, jugular and radial, still the jugular tracing is almost conclusive in the absence of the auricular systolic wave. Disturbances of the Heart It should be constantly borne in mind, that the systolic pressure reading which is made, is the maximum effort of the heart at that moment only. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Some think that a pressure over 130 mm. systolic should be carefully watched.

Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The heart is found enlarged, the apex beat diffuse and there may be a systolic blow at the mitral or tricuspid valve. Disturbances of the Heart It enables us to judge of the volume output, for pulse pressure which is only determined by measuring both systolic and diastolic pressure, is such an index. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The systolic falls more than the diastolic so that it is not uncommon to see pulse pressures of 20 mm. at the beginning of convalescence in spite of the high caloric feeding practiced. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The chief objects in view were to make clear to the physician the technique and the necessity for estimating both systolic and diastolic pressures. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If there is a low systolic pressure and a high diastolic pressure, this shows impairment of the heart, whether or not any other organic lesion is present. Disturbances of the Heart The heart is enlarged and there is a soft systolic blow heard at the lower end of the sternum. Disturbances of the Heart It is more stable than the systolic pressure, subject to fewer more or less unknown influences. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Generally speaking, a low systolic pressure shows a weak acting heart muscle, and a very low diastolic pressure shows a dilated condition of the arterioles. Disturbances of the Heart Of course systolic murmurs may be due to a disturbed condition of the blood, but if they occur with the above-mentioned symptoms and signs, endocarditis should be diagnosed. Disturbances of the Heart It may be stated that in determining the systolic and diastolic pressure in the peripheral arteries, the ordinary stethoscope is as efficient as any more elaborate auscultatory apparatus. Disturbances of the Heart At times with a low systolic pressure, but a relatively high diastolic pressure, nitroglycerin is valuable. Disturbances of the Heart When the systolic and diastolic pressures approach, heart failure is imminent either when pressure picture is high or low. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z By taking the systolic and diastolic pressures, the difference between the two being the pressure pulse, we learn to interpret the pressure pulse reading. Disturbances of the Heart If there is a high systolic pressure and a correspondingly high diastolic pressure, the balance between the vessels and the heart is compensated as long as the heart muscle is sufficient. Disturbances of the Heart These women are energetic, and look full of health and full of strength, but their faces frequently flush, sometimes they are dizzy, and the systolic blood pressure is too high. Disturbances of the Heart He used both the bicycle ergometer and dumb-bells, and finds that there is a rise of systolic pressure after ordinary work, but a delayed rise after very heavy work, in normal persons. Disturbances of the Heart Formerly I believed that all high systolic pressure cases were cases of chronic nephritis of some definite degree. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z However, if there is a high systolic and a low diastolic pressure, vasodilators are often contraindicated. Disturbances of the Heart If a patient has hypotension and a systolic pressure of 110, and is given nitroglycerin, the very unpleasant results from its administration will be immediately noticed. Disturbances of the Heart In aortic regurgitation this low diastolic pressure is constantly in evidence, and, if the systolic pressure is not below normal, does not signify that the circulation is insufficient. Disturbances of the Heart In other words, a normal young adult with a systolic pressure of 120 should have a diastolic pressure of 80, and therefore a pulse pressure of 40. Disturbances of the Heart The pressure picture is high systolic with normal or only slightly increased diastolic and large pulse pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If the systolic pressure is not very low but the diastolic is high, vasodilator drugs, by lowering the diastolic and increasing the pulse pressure, are often of benefit. Disturbances of the Heart The strenuous measures that should he used to lower a high diastolic pressure are contraindicated when the diastolic pressure is already low, even if the systolic pressure 1s high. Disturbances of the Heart If a high systolic pressure begins to fall more or less rapidly the heart shows fatigue, and should be stimulated by digitalis or strophanthin. Disturbances of the Heart As a working rule it should be noted that the diastolic pressure is not as much influenced by physiologic factors or the varying conditions of normal life as is the systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart At the time of perforation the systolic pressure may be raised. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If the heart becomes weak the systolic pressure will drop, and any improvement caused, especially in aortic regurgitation, is by an increase of the systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart After a period which may be termed the normal period of hypertension in normal life, as age advances the systolic tension may lower, provided there is no kidney lesion. Disturbances of the Heart Hence the relationship of the systolic to the diastolic pressure in pneumonia is of very great importance in deciding on the proper treatment. Disturbances of the Heart Kilgore urges that these highest pressures should not be taken as the true systolic blood pressure, but the average of a series of these varying blood pressures. Disturbances of the Heart Aortic insufficiency also may be accompanied by a high systolic or by a normal systolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If endocarditis is present, soft systolic murmurs soon appear. Disturbances of the Heart If, after this slight exercise in the erect posture, the systolic pressure is diminished, the heart muscle is defective. Disturbances of the Heart He also takes the systolic and diastolic pressures at the same time. Disturbances of the Heart In arteriosclerosis the systolic may be high, and the diastolic low, and hence a large pressure pulse. Disturbances of the Heart The systolic pressure represents the maximum force of the heart. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z They found that "low systolic pressures are not invariably of evil omen." Disturbances of the Heart However, profuse purging in heart disease may be followed by unfavorable symptoms, especially when the systolic blood pressure is low. Disturbances of the Heart On the other hand, a high systolic pressure without a high diastolic pressure should not be rapidly lowered, else depression will be caused. Disturbances of the Heart The same is true with aortic regurgitation and a high systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart Physiologically there are many conditions which modify the systolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z While he believes that a systolic pressure of over 160 mm. is pathologic, he does not find that any definite prognostic conclusions can be drawn from the height of the pressure. Disturbances of the Heart If both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are taken, and the heart strength is more or less accurately determined, mistakes in the administration of cardiac drugs will be less frequent. Disturbances of the Heart In some persons the auscultatory readings cannot be made, or are very unsatisfactory, and it becomes necessary to use the palpation method in taking the systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart When, after some minutes of repose, he assumes the erect posture again, the systolic pressure will diminish and the diastolic pressure increase, and the pressure pulse shortens. Disturbances of the Heart The diastolic pressure is not very variable; it is not subject to the same influences which disturb the systolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z He also should not watch the dial, as any tensity on his part more or less raises the systolic pressure, the diastolic not being much affected by such nervous tension. Disturbances of the Heart These dangerous rises in venous pressure are generally coincident with a fall of systolic arterial pressure, although there may be no constant relation between the two. Disturbances of the Heart Eighty-five of these young men, however, had a systolic pressure of over 140. Disturbances of the Heart He also found that a lower systolic pressure with a lower diastolic pressure is not a sign that the heart is weakening, but only that the visceral tone is growing less. Disturbances of the Heart Up to within a very brief time all the statistical evidence of blood pressure was based on systolic readings alone. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Hence an increased systolic blood pressure must be in part interpreted by the amount of tobacco that the person uses. Disturbances of the Heart Of course it should be recognized that the systolic pressure thus obtained will generally be some millimeters above that obtained with the finger, perhaps the average being equivalent to about 5 mm. of mercury. Disturbances of the Heart The first phase begins with the first audible sound, which is the proper point at which to read the, systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart On the other hand, when the diastolic pressure rises while the systolic falls, this is a sign of failing heart. Disturbances of the Heart Increased pulse pressure therefore goes hand in hand with greater systolic output. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z The right arm of right handed persons usually registers a full 5 mm. higher systolic pressure than the left arm. Disturbances of the Heart With normal heart and arteries, exertion and exercise should increase the systolic pressure, and generally somewhat increase the diastolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart In an irregularly acting heart the systolic pressure may vary greatly, from 10 to 20 mm. or more, and a ventricular contraction may not be of sufficient power to open the semilunar valves. Disturbances of the Heart When there is circulatory defect or abnormal blood pressure, exercise may not increase the systolic pressure, and the pressure pulse may grow smaller. Disturbances of the Heart Following exercise the pulse rate increases, the systolic pressure rises greatly, the diastolic slightly or not at all. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z If the systolic pressure is low and the diastolic very low, or when the heart is rapid, circulation through the coronary vessels of the heart is more or less imperfect. Disturbances of the Heart He found the average in persons from 15 to 30 years to be 122 systolic; from 30 to 40, 127 mm., and from the ages of 40 to 50, to be 130 mm. Disturbances of the Heart It is not unusual to find that a young man who is very athletic has an abnormally high systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart Then reduce the pressure 5 mm. and read again for a minute, and so on down the scale until the varying systolic pressures are recorded. Disturbances of the Heart It can only be determined by measuring both the systolic and diastolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z In 52 percent of these 211 persons the systolic pressure was under 140, while in the remaining 48 percent it ranged from 145 to 200 mm. Disturbances of the Heart The systolic pressure varied from 91 mm. in the fourth year to 105.5 in the fourteenth year, while the diastolic pressure remained almost at a uniform level. Disturbances of the Heart On the other hand, too low a systolic pressure in an adult, 105 mm. or below, should cause suspicion of some serious condition, the most frequent being a latent or quiescent tuberculosis. Disturbances of the Heart The average of these pressures should be read as the true systolic blood pressure. Disturbances of the Heart For this figure the place on the scale where most of the beats are heard may be taken for the average systolic pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z When the systolic pressure is above 130, the patient should be carefully watched, and he thinks that 150 is the danger line. Disturbances of the Heart He finds that if a patient is past the eighth month, rupture of the membranes will usually bring a rapid fall of from 50 to 90 points in systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart In cardiac failure, as the systolic pressure falls the diastolic is likely to be increased, and the pressure pulse thus diminishing, allows insufficient blood to go to the medullary centers, and death soon occurs. Disturbances of the Heart On the other hand, it is now generally proved that persons with overweight have a systolic pressure greater than is normal for individuals of the same age. Disturbances of the Heart The broken line indicates the "average systolic blood pressure." Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z A heart which is already enlarged or slightly dilated and insufficient, under the stress of muscular labor will more slowly increase its forcefulness, and we have the delayed rise in systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart If the heart muscle is in good condition, the systolic pressure should remain the same after this slight exertion and these changes in posture. Disturbances of the Heart However, it should be again urged in making insurance examinations that psychic disturbance or mental tensity very readily raises the systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart The pressure pulse, therefore, increased progressively with the increase of the systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart In all surgical diseases the most important fact to know is not the systolic pressure, but the pulse pressure. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z This increased systolic pressure is the greatest about half an hour after a meal, and then gradually declines until the next meal. Disturbances of the Heart He found that altitude seemed to decrease high systolic and diastolic pressures, while it even elevated those which were below normal, and caused these patients to feel better. Disturbances of the Heart This is not to state that every high tension must be lowered, but every hypertension must be studied and a safer systolic pressure caused if it is possible without interfering with the person's efficiency. Disturbances of the Heart A rising blood pressure in pregnancy, when associated with other toxic symptoms, is indicative of danger, and Evans believes that a systolic pressure of 160 mm, is ordinarily the danger limit. Disturbances of the Heart When the systolic pressure is gradually falling and the diastolic remains the same, the circulation is failing and unless the pulse pressure can be established again the patient will die. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z When there is no kidney lesion a very high systolic pressure falls more under nitroglycerin than does a medium high systolic pressure. Disturbances of the Heart Of course, if the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure is diminished to the vanishing point, the patient cannot stand it, and dies. Disturbances of the Heart If such patients have the systolic blood pressure raised even a small amount, or if the diastolic pressure, which is very low, is raised even a small amount, they immediately feel better. Disturbances of the Heart He gives it hypodermically, 15 minims at the first dose and 5 minims subsequently, until the systolic pressure is reduced to 140 or less. Disturbances of the Heart Note that the systolic and diastolic rise and fall together. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z Not infrequently soft systolic murmurs are heard at the pulmonary and tricuspid valves during acute endocarditis. Disturbances of the Heart A constant systolic blood pressure of over 200 shows a probability that the patient will ultimately die either of uremia or of apoplexy. Disturbances of the Heart In arteriosclerosis the systolic pressure may be high while the diastolic is low; hence there is a large pressure pulse. Disturbances of the Heart After a course of such treatment sometimes patients have a diminished systolic blood pressure not only for weeks, but even for months, provided they do not break the rules laid down for them. Disturbances of the Heart Note that the pulse and respiration show no remarkable changes, but the blood pressure steadily fell, the systolic more than the diastolic so that the pulse pressure was gradually reaching the danger point. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z When arteriosclerosis and renal disease are combined, of course the highest systolic readings occur. Disturbances of the Heart A systolic pressure much over 200 probably never goes down to normal, and if such a high systolic pressure goes down to below 170, we should consider the treatment successful. Disturbances of the Heart If the work is too heavy, and the systolic blood pressure is rapidly increased, it may become so great as to prevent the left ventricle from completely evacuating its content. Disturbances of the Heart A low systolic pressure and a low diastolic pressure may not cause any symptoms or give any cause for anxiety. Disturbances of the Heart There are many such tables for the systolic pressures alone. Arteriosclerosis and Hypertension: with Chapters on Blood Pressure, 3rd Edition. 2011-10-11T02:01:07.890Z As he points out, there is often a very great increase in the systolic blood pressure at the menopause, while the diastolic pressure may not be high.
