1. In normotensive individuals, insulin may stimulate sympathetic activity without elevating mean arterial pressure . 2. Empirically proven effects include sympathetic nerve discharge and increased arterial pressure . 3. Levels of arterial pressure put mechanical stress on the arterial walls. 4. Arteries already have to be thick to withstand the arterial pressure . 5. Even moderate elevation of arterial pressure leads to shortened life expectancy. 6. Sometimes the arterial pressure drops significantly when a patient stands up from sitting. 7. Yeltsin's arterial pressure was 120 by 75 mm of the mercury, the Kremlin added. 8. :: : : Consider how Mean arterial pressure is calculated. 9. It is generally reserved for patients where rapid variations in arterial pressure are anticipated. 10. Bypass grafts clog because the thin-walled veins are not made to withstand high arterial pressures .
