Compared to ones taking normal water, the levels of blood pressure, namely systolic arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, pulse pressure and total peripheral resistance, in those taking deep seawater were substantially lowered. The average pulse pressure is usually below 50 millimeters of mercury, but in dialysis patients it is often much higher, says Preston Klassen, a physician at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N. Forearm vascular resistance (in arbitrary units) was calculated as mean arterial pressure (one third pulse pressure plus diastolic pressure, in millimeters of mercury) divided by forearm blood flow (in milliliters per 100 milliliters of tissue per minute). |
