What is the reason for a small pulse pressure difference

Only when the pulse pressure difference is normal can it be said that a person is in sub-health. If the pulse pressure difference is relatively small, it usually occurs in patients in the early stages of hypertension. This is mainly because the level of excitement in the body increases, which makes the output pressure lower and the diastolic pressure higher. Therefore, the pulse pressure difference will become smaller. If this continues for a long time, the patient may suffer from diseases such as angina pectoris. So what is the reason for the small pulse pressure difference?

1. A small pulse pressure difference can also be physiological. Usually, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure are lower than normal, which is usually caused by a thin and weak constitution. You don't need to worry too much about a small pulse pressure difference that does not cause discomfort. Generally, you don't need to take special medicine because it won't have much impact on your health. Just pay attention to nutrition and strengthen your physical fitness.

2. If the pulse pressure difference is significantly reduced, dizziness is related to low blood pressure. A detailed examination should be done in the hospital. If an obvious reason is found, it should be regarded as a physiological property of reducing blood pressure (mainly caused by systolic blood pressure. In addition to strengthening the body and proper nutrition, strengthening the body to treat low blood pressure can also prevent dizziness and falling when standing, and intravenous albumin can be given when necessary.

3. The pressure difference between systolic pressure and diastolic pressure is called pulse pressure. The normal value is about 40 mmHg. Under normal circumstances, the pulse pressure difference of a normal person is 20~60 mmHg (2.67~8.0Kpa). A pressure difference greater than 60 mmHg is called excessive pulse pressure, and a pressure difference less than 20 mmHg is called too small.

4. A small pulse pressure difference is caused by a decrease in the elasticity and compliance of peripheral blood vessels. The decrease in vascular elasticity is mainly caused by the deposition of a large amount of lipids and calcium salts under the vascular intima and the proliferation of the smooth muscle layer in the middle layer of the vascular intima. In addition to being regulated, these processes are also affected by multiple factors such as the patient's age, gender, endocrine system, lipid metabolism, and glucose metabolism.
