Tonicity and Arterial Wall Status

Tension and arterial wall status check is an auxiliary test method for checking whether the pulse is normal. The tension of the pulse depends on the level of systolic blood pressure. When the pulse is checked, the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are placed on the radial artery, and the proximal artery is pressed with the proximal finger to prevent the distal finger from touching the pulse, indicating that the proximal finger has completely blocked the radial artery blood flow. The applied pressure and the perceived elasticity of the vessel wall are the tension of the pulse. Through this examination, the lesion and the corresponding symptoms can be judged. Basic Information Specialist Category: Cardiovascular Examination Category: Other Examinations Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Maintain a normal diet and schedule before checking. Normal value The elasticity of the wall of the aorta has the effect of buffering changes in arterial blood pressure, that is, reducing the pulse pressure. Under normal conditions, the tension is moderate. If the blood vessel is pressed with a palpation finger to completely cover the pulse, the pressure used at this time is the pulse tension, which is related to the systolic blood pressure in the artery. Clinical significance Abnormal results: When hypertension or arteriosclerosis occurs, the pressure required for palpation is large, that is, the degree of tension is called hard vein. Heart failure and anemia are the pressures used in clinics, that is, the tension is small, called soft veins. In addition, the degree of tension varies slightly with gender and age. People who need to be examined: routine physical examination items, abnormal blood vessels. Precautions Forbidden before examination: Maintain a normal diet and schedule. Requirements for examination: The patient actively cooperates with the doctor during the examination. It is not suitable for strenuous exercise one hour before the examination. It is not appropriate to be overly stressed during the examination, so as not to affect the result. Inspection process During the examination, the two fingers can be placed on the pulse. The proximal end of the finger is pressed hard to block the blood flow so that the distal end of the finger can not touch the pulse. The blood vessel wall is collected and sized by the pressure of the medical education network. The elastic state determines the pulse tension. For example, after the brachial artery is compressed, although the distal finger does not touch the arterial pulse, it can reach the presence of the strip artery, and is hard and lacks elasticity like a cord-like, tortuous or nodular shape, suggesting arteriosclerosis. Not suitable for the crowd Inappropriate people: severe blood vessels and heart failure. Adverse reactions and risks Nothing.
