SOME TIMES IN SOME PATIENTS WHEN YOU MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE ( BLOOD PRESSURE SHOWS FOR EXAMPLE 120 /................ YOU HEAR THE SOUND UNTILL DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE SHOWS 0) WE CALL It BP IS 120/PULS,
WHAT IS THE REASON , WHAT IS THE PATHOLOGY? WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE?
THANKS
AND GOOD LUCK

I have been waiting for a reply long time,I know that it is neighther UW nor Nmba question , but does that mean no answer, even not try to answer?
I know that the condition called OSLER Phenomenon can cause changes on arteries and blood pressure, but I do not know if it explains the above question.what do you think?
Natasa I am counting on your answer.
