To begin with negative facts: a mitral pre-systolic murmur is never significant of a degenerative lesion.
I find his heart very large and feeble, the cardiac sounds scarcely audible, and in the mitral area a well-developed systolic murmur.
And certainly a large proportion of the old ladies of 60 or 70, whom you all have had as patients for years on end with weak heart and systolic murmur in the aortic area, owe their disablement to gout, if my observations are correct.
It is not quite easy to see how he found this process compatible with the orderly recurrence of all the systolic contractions in the beating of a nearly empty heart.
The systolic muscular contractions of the walls of the ventricles are caused by direct mechanical stimulation (in modern language) due to diastolic distension by blood of the relaxed muscular walls of these chambers.
Harvey made the systolic contraction of auricle or ventricle dependent on the mechanical stimulus of its next preceding diastolic distension.
In other words the systolic pressure is always increased to greater degree than the diastolic pressure.
There are many such tables for thesystolic pressures alone.
Fluctuations of the systolic pressure alone, it is insisted upon, have very little meaning.
This is the systolic pressure and is read off on the scale.
In other words if an actual systolic blood pressure of 140 mm.
For convenience, this may be said to be the arithmetical mean of the systolic and diastolic pressures.
The diastolic does not fall to the same extent as the systolic so that there is a pulse pressure smaller than normal.
In all surgical diseases the most important fact to know is not the systolic pressure, but the pulse pressure.
It is apparently the constant high diastolic pressure rather than the intermittently high systolic pressure which predisposes to cerebral accident.
This causes the first sharp clicking sound which measures the systolic pressure.
The high pulse pressure is due to a very low diastolic pressure, for in my experience with uncomplicated aortic insufficiency the systolic pressure is, as a rule, not much increased above the normal for the individual's age.
The systolic pressure, thus obtained, is from 5-10 mm.
If leakage occurs into the tissues, the extravasated blood may occlude the vein by pressure, and the symptoms of arterial aneurysm replace those of the arterio-venous form, the systolic bruit persisting, while the venous hum disappears.
In most cases a distinct thrill is felt on placing the hand over the swelling, and a blowing, systolicmurmur may be heard with the stethoscope.
In time a swelling is recognised, with a palpable thrill and a systolic bruit, loudest at the level of the communication and accompanied by a continuous venous hum.
It is pulsatile, and a systolicbruit or a "thrilling" murmur may be heard over it.
On palpation a systolic thrill may be detected, but the presence of a murmur is neither constant nor characteristic.
After a period which may be termed the normal period of hypertension in normal life, as age advances the systolic tension may lower, provided there is no kidney lesion.
Hence the relationship of the systolic to the diastolic pressure in pneumonia is of very great importance in deciding on the proper treatment.
He also takes the systolic and diastolic pressures at the same time.
A heart which is already enlarged or slightly dilated and insufficient, under the stress of muscular labor will more slowly increase its forcefulness, and we have the delayed rise in systolic pressure.
He also found that a lower systolic pressure with a lower diastolic pressure is not a sign that the heart is weakening, but only that the visceral tone is growing less.
As he points out, there is often a very great increase in the systolic blood pressure at the menopause, while the diastolic pressure may not be high.
The same is true with aortic regurgitation and a high systolic pressure.
The first phase begins with the first audible sound, which is the proper point at which to read the, systolic pressure.
He took the blood pressure readings in fifty-four young adults, seventeen of whom were women, and found that the average systolic reading in the men was 129 mm.
Generally speaking, a low systolicpressure shows a weak acting heart muscle, and a very low diastolic pressure shows a dilated condition of the arterioles.
Over this area there was faint pulsation with a strongly marked thrill and loud systolic bruit.
The systolic stillness of the heart is also removed by substances which paralyse the heart, as delphinin, saponin, and apomorphin.
The sphygmometric oscillations of the forearm were twice as small in the paralyzed limb as in the healthy limb, but the systolic blood pressure was normal.
There were marked lateral pulsation of the tumor, distinct systolic bruit, diminution of the femoral pulse, and severe lancinating pain in the back and sacral region.
On the other hand, a systolic basic murmur not due to endo- or pericarditis frequently exists, sometimes in the early, but usually in the later, stages of rheumatic fever.
Stokes long ago called attention to an alteration in the systolic sound of the heart which he taught indicated the urgent necessity for the administration of stimulants.
It is characterized by high fever, precordial pain, attacks of syncope, and a systolic murmur.
These patches are especially common in the papillary muscles of the mitral valve--a fact which explains the occasional presence of systolic murmurs in typhoid fever.
Hayem asserts that in a certain number of cases a systolic bellows murmur, with its point of greatest intensity at the apex, is heard during the course or at the close of the second week.
If the heart be now examined, a decided systolic murmur will be heard, most distinctly over the pulmonary valves; and in most cases of wet beriberi it exists in all the large arterial trunks.
He had one patient with such a condition, a loud apex systolic murmur, and some enlargement, who bore nine children and lived to past sixty years of age.
Systolic murmurs at the base of the heart and an accentuated second aortic sound are quite common in pregnancy and may not be of grave importance.
Up-curve represents diastolic expansion and down-curve systolic contraction.
In the present case the expansive reaction of warmth is exhibited by the reduction of systolic limit of contraction.
The up-and-down movements of the leaflet correspond to the diastolic and systolic movements of the animal heart.
The expansive effect of rise of temperature is seen in Desmodium by the reduction of the systolic limit of its pulsation; in growth it is exhibited by an acceleration of the rate of growth.
The expansive effect of warmth is seen in reduction of the systolic limit of Desmodium pulsation, and in the acceleration of rate of growth in growing organs (p.
Note the expansive effect of rise of temperature in reduction of systolic limit of pulsation.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "systolic" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
