  1. THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF MALE AND FEMALE PELVIS

  2. BLOOD PRESSURE: As described in Session 3, brachial blood pressure should be taken in the seated position and recorded on both upper extremities. Keep in mind that emotional (nervousness, annoyance, etc.) and physiological conditions (fatigue, medication, other factors) can affect readings.

  3. In any case of unusual findings, additional pressure checks and questioning of the subject are indicated. In every adult age group, elevated blood pressure results in greater risk of stroke and in developing congestive heart failure. Early detection and subsequent treatment can avert complications in the hypertensive patient. Unaware of the potential seriousness of the patient’s condition, physicians fail to properly evaluate the patient and simply commence treatment.

  4. Most authorities define hypertension as diastolic pressures consistently greater than 100 mm Hg in a person more than 60 years of age or greater than 90 mm Hg in a person under 50 years of age. Transient elevation of blood pressure caused by excitement or apprehension does not constitute hypertensive disease. The diagnosis of hypertension should be confirmed on at least two additional office visits.

  5. If the readings indicate hypertension, then a thorough clinical evaluation should be made to attempt to determine the extent of the hypertensive disease.

  6. The disease is uncommon before the age of 20. In young people it is commonly caused by renal insufficiency, renal artery stenosis, or coarctation of the aorta. A sustained systolic elevation suggests atherosclerosis of the aorta
