Question Number 100
Describe the Valsalva maneuver.
The Valsalva maneuver is a condition that can occur when a participant holds his/her breath while exercising which creates an unequal pressure in the chest. This causes blood pressure to drop, and decrease blood flow to the heart. When the participant starts breathing again a surge of blood to the heart can cause a sharp increase in blood pressure. This is especially dangerous for people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease. see p. 20_x000D_ _x000D_ "Closing the glottis and bearing down to create pressure in the chest resultiing in a drop in BP and diminished blood flow to the heart." p. 322
