Pressor Test

A pressor test is a method for studying the cardiovascular system, which is used to assess its functioning and diagnose cardiovascular diseases.

The pressor test procedure begins with the patient lying on the couch and preparing to donate blood. The doctor or nurse then inserts a needle into a vein in the arm and attaches a device that measures blood pressure over a period of time. After this, a series of tests begins to check the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

One test involves applying more pressure to the patient's arm using a special pump. In this case, the doctor monitors changes in the patient’s blood pressure and records the data on paper. Another test involves reducing external pressure on the arm, which also allows you to determine how the cardiovascular system reacts to changes in pressure.

After completing a series of tests, the doctor interprets the data, analyzing the patient's heart rate, blood pressure and other indicators of the functioning of the patient's cardiovascular system. Based on these data, the doctor can draw conclusions about the condition of the patient’s heart, blood vessels and blood circulation.

The pressor test is a very useful tool in medicine, especially in the context of cardiac research. With its help, you can accurately assess the state of the cardiovascular system and diagnose diseases that can cause serious problems with
