Of all the diseases of blood pressure, the most encountered and concerned problems are those surrounding hypertension and low blood pressure that rarely pay attention to stuck blood pressure.

1. What is stuck blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure of blood vessels on the vessel wall expressed by two parameters: the maximum number reflects the force of contraction of the heart and the minimum number represents the resistance of the artery wall.
Trapped blood pressure, also known as clamped blood pressure, is a phenomenon when the difference between systolic pressure minus diastolic blood pressure is less than or equal to 20 mmHg. When this difference is less than or equal to 25mmHg, it is also classified as stuck blood pressure.
Trapped blood pressure occurs when systolic blood pressure decreases or diastolic pressure increases.
For example:
A normal person has a blood pressure reading of 130/80 mmHg but due to a medical problem, the systolic blood pressure drops from 130 mmHg to 100 mmHg. Then the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is 100 - 80 = 20 (mmHg). At this point, the blood pressure is stuck.
Or, also in this case, the systolic blood pressure stays the same, the diastolic blood pressure increases from 80mmHg to 110mmHg, the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure is now 130-110=20 (mmHg). This is also the case where the blood pressure is stuck.

Due to intravascular blood loss: Common in cases of complications of heart failure or dengue fever, causing fluid to escape from the vessel or due to blood loss. injury. Due to heart valve diseases that are mainly due to aortic stenosis and mitral stenosis. In the setting of aortic stenosis, the systolic blood pressure will decrease due to a decrease in the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle. In contrast, in mitral stenosis, the diastolic blood pressure is increased due to blood pooling during diastole. All of these events cause clamping blood pressure. Due to other heart diseases such as heart failure, ascites, pericardial effusion causing compression of the heart... Trapped blood pressure reduces the heart's pumping efficiency, causing circulatory failure or stagnant circulation. . Manifestations:
Headache, dizziness, dizziness. Chest tightness, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, possibly shortness of breath. Memory loss, poor concentration and sometimes chills. Clamping blood pressure, if prolonged, can easily lead to heart failure due to the large peripheral resistance that causes left ventricular hypertrophy.
