Hypertension ? Hypotension?
Question:
Now let's say that a new, elastic, healthy arm is (again, of course, -'courtesy of Modern Medical Science' and Surgical know-how) is miraculously transplanted on to the severed armpit of an 80-year old, sclerotic (like me).hypertensive individual.
Clearly, things will now have changed...The Indispensable Arm will still exhibit hypertensive readings at the brachial (or for that matter) any other downstream artery and the nubile, latex-like young arteries of the donor arm will be agreeably "low".
Discuss.
Answers:
You're funny! Great question..I would think that yes it will be different in each arm, but your blood pressure is not completely due to vascular sclerosis. This is also a heart issue and you should still have high blood pressure, even in your new young arm.
You'll have to post back how your pressure does.
Umm! the problem I see here is that you still have the same old heart pumping the same old blood . So, even if you have a young arm, and the blood was flowing through it , I doubt it would change anything.
