Captain Fallowell was an astronaut who had been aboard at the international space station from last 8 months. He left in the middle of his speech and complained that he had increased heart rate and abnormal BP (blood pressure) while standing. Characters in the case: Captain Fallowell Adequate information: Sometimes he also faces blackouts and dizziness while standing, although his reflexes were normal with no any sign or symptom of head trauma. To determine: The MAP (Main arterial pressure) and pulse pressure of Captain Fallowell while standing and lying down. Given information: Captain Fallowell’s heart rate was high, that is, 112 beats per minute during standing and 85 beats per minute while he was lying. HisBP was 94/52 mm Hg (millimeter of mercury) when he was standing and while lying, it was 116/66 mm Hg.
