Gender: why is a male more at risk of chd than a female, oestrogen is cardioprotective (increases hdl synthesis and catabolism of. Indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats. Increases when: rapid ejection of a large stroke volume (heart beat, when stroke volume is ejected into a rigid aorta, diastolic blood pressure the minimum level of blood pressure measured between contractions of the heart. Indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats. Increases mainly when: resistance of the arterioles (main contributor)
