A decrease in which of the following tends to increase pulse pressure?
Type of BP Major determinant Systolic BP (SBP) SV (directly propoional) Compliance of aoa (inversely propoional) Diastolic BP (DBP) Elastic recoli of aoa / major vessels (directly propoional) Total peripheral resistance (directly propoional) Pulse pressure (PP) = SBP-DBP Ratio of stroke volume to compliance of the aerial tree Mean aerial pressure (MAP) = (SBP +2* DBP)/3 = DBP +(PP/3) Cardiac output x Total peripheral resistance
