1. This increased force requirement equates to an increase in pulse pressure . 2. A narrow pulse pressure is a sign of aortic stenosis. 3. This would result in an increase in pulse pressure . 4. This can build up due to isolated systolic hypertension with a widened pulse pressure . 5. Narrowed pulse pressure might also be observed. 6. Huntly Millar's contributions to the non-invasive measurement of pulse pressure are well known. 7. These catheter-tipped manometers made possible depiction of the changes in pulse pressure waveforms with age. 8. The loss of arterial compliance that occurs with aging explains the elevated pulse pressures found in elderly patients. 9. The result is an elevated pulse pressure ( normal is 40mm Hg ), due to catecholamine release. 10. A cannula or catheter inserted into an artery may be used to measure pulse pressure or pulmonary wedge pressures.
