This study was conducted with an aim to measure the level of Pentraxin 3 in neonates with pulmonary hypertension and comparing with normal healthy controls. Design and Methods: In a case-control study‚ plasma Pentraxin 3 levels were evaluated in 3 groups of neonates including: neonates with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)‚ neonates with congenital heart disease without pulmonary arterial hypertension (CHD without PAH) and normal healthy neonates

the American Heart Association‚ blood pressure measures the amount of force that is put outward on the arterial walls‚ and high blood pressure means that excessive force is used to produce blood flow throughout the body‚ which is also known as hypertension (“What is High Blood Pressure”). The main function of nitrates is to widen blood vessels and increase blood flow‚ allowing more oxygen-rich blood to flow to and from the heart muscles (Texas Heart Institute).

What I observed was that males were more likely to get hypertension than females. Blood pressure tends to rise with age. About 65 percent of Americans aged 60 or older have High blood pressure. One of the most common forms of high blood pressure in older adults is chronic hypertension. Chronic hypertension occurs when the systolic blood pressure is high. About 66.7% people over age 60 with high blood pressure have Chronic hypertension. “Men and women are equally likely to develop HBP during their lifetimes

Abnormal resusts are mild hypertension were diastolic pressure is 90 to 104. Significant hypertension is when systolic pressure is above 200 or diastolic pressure is above 100. Hypotension is when blood pressure is below normal. Consult the health care provider if

to heart attack and strokes. The force that makes weight on veins that is your systolic blood pressure. An ordinary systolic pressure is beneath 120. A measurement of at least 140 is high blood strain or high blood pressure (additionally called hypertension). The diastolic measurement‚ or the base number‚ is the strain in the arteries when the heart rests between pulsates. This is the time when the heart loads with blood and gets oxygen. A typical diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. In a
