[edit] Pulse pressure and antihypertensives

Am very interested in this, as it is not something I have come accross before. However, I can't persue it any further because the comment is not referenced... argh! Does anybody know of a reference for it?--John24601 21:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion between terms: genuinely low vs very low

I found the following fragment somewhat confusing:

If the usual resting pulse pressure is measured as less than 40 mm Hg, the most common reason is an error of measurement. If the pulse pressure is genuinely low, e.g. 25 mm Hg or less, ....

I would have thought that if there is no measurement error, then any value of less than 40 mm Hg is “genuinely low”, while a value of 25 mm Hg should perhaps be described as “very low”. Rahul (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 11:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
