Valsalvian

This word refers to something related to Antonio Maria Valsalva, an Italian physicist, or a clinical sign associated with him in the medical field. In a medical context, the Valsalva maneuver is a technique used to equalize air pressure in the ears, or to induce a specific type of pressure change in the body, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. The Valsalva sign, also known as the Valsalva maneuver or Valsalva exponent, can refer to a measurement used in exercise testing to assess the heart function. When a patient performs a Valsalva maneuver (i.e., holds their breath in and tries to exhale against a closed glottis), the decrease in intrathoracic pressure causes a sudden increase in peripheral resistance, causing the vena cava to constrict and promote the return of blood to the heart; then, when the individual exhales rapidly, the pressure drops, and the aortic valve opens. This can induce a change in blood pressure and is used as potential indices of heart failure in some tests. I can conclude that, generally this word is a reference to the doctor's clinical sign or procedural method.

Valsartan

Valsartan is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Valsartan works by blocking the action of a natural chemical called angiotensin II, which constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin II, valsartan helps blood vessels to relax and widen, which lowers blood pressure and improves the heart's ability to pump blood. Valsartan is also sometimes used to treat conditions such as left ventricular failure, diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage due to diabetes), and to help prevent heart failure after a heart attack. It is usually available as a tablet or capsule, and is usually taken once or twice a day. Common side effects of valsartan include dizziness, headache, and fatigue, while more serious side effects can include kidney damage and excessively low blood pressure.
