    The document discusses blood pressure measurements for three individuals, the effects of ACE inhibitors on blood pressure, and conclusions about factors that can influence blood pressure readings. It notes that ACE inhibitors help widen blood vessels and lower blood pressure by allowing more blood to flow through. An ACE inhibitor may have helped lower Anna's blood pressure to a normal level by decreasing enzymes that constrict blood vessels.

    2 Blood Pressure

    Blood Pressure manual :


    110/40 (Me)
    110/30 (Sidney)
    100/60(Virginia)
    ACE inhibitor: Help widen your blood vessels which results in more blood flow and a lower blood
    pressure. It lowers blood pressure because your blood vessels can allow more blood to filter
    through.

    Conclusion Questions:
    1. No, because when we did it manual it was hard to hear when the heartbeat
    started or when it ended. Also, when we were pumping to close the cusp we didnt get
    exactly 160, so that affected our numbers. With the probes, the computer was able to tell
    when it stopped and when it started, so it was more accurate.
    2. The things we eat and our body position may change our blood pressure. The
    food we consume has the ability to alter our blood pressure, and the way our bodies are
    situated during testing can alter the outcome.
    3. While testing blood pressure, it is important to keep the same person in the same
    body position, and the same pressure that is applied when pumping. It is important to
    keep these factors constant so we can see any changes in the outcome not due to
    outside forces.
    4. Prehypertension is to be at-risk for high blood pressure. It is important to know if
    you have prehypertension so you can change your lifestyle in order to reach a healthy
    blood pressure.
    5. An ACE inhibitor may have helped Anna mediate her blood pressure because it
    would have helped her body lower it to a normal pressure. Angiotensin II is an
    enzyme produced by the body that narrows blood vessels, thereby increasing
    blood pressure. An ACE inhibitor decreases the production of this enzyme and
    dilates the blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. Anna could have used this
    to lower her blood pressure to a healthy level.
