cardiovascular risk
,What is the most common cause of narrow (low) pulse pressure? Correct
Answer-a drop in left ventricular stroke volume
How does trauma cause narrow pulse pressure? Correct Answer-Blood
loss
If pulse pressure is extremely low (25 mmHg or less), what is the cause?
Correct Answer-low stroke volume such as HF or shock
