Which of the following is a cause of wide pulse pressure?
Pulse pressure= SBP - DBP. Aoic stenosis or Mitral stenosis- SBP is low leading to reduction of pulse pressure. Tricuspid stenosis -Blood flow into right side of hea is reduced, so left side inflow is reduced-Reduction in SBP. Changes in Pulse Pressure Include: Increased Pulse pressure: Aoic Regurgitation, A-V shunt Decreased Pulse pressure: Aoic Stenosis, Mitral Stenosis Decreased Diastolic pressure: Aoic Regurgitation, Patent Ductus Aeriosus
