police officer is accused of trying to smuggle two illegal immigrants into the united states. reporter tina patel spoke to the suspect's neighbors. mambasse patara, an officer with lapd's south traffic division, has found himself on the other side of law facing federal charges that he tried to illegally smuggle two men into the country from mexico. neighbors say it's hard to believe the allegations. crystal petrini: "i heard what happened and i'm really shocked. they've always been a really nice family ever since my husband and i have lived here."gabee reyes:"i don't believe that he's doing that, i don't believe at all that he'd be capable of doing something like that." gabee reyes says patara and his family have lived in the neighborhood for years, and she considers them friends. but the 42-year-old was arrested after being stopped at a border checkpoint early

tuesday morning. according to the complaint from the department of justice..graphic: "patara immediately stated he is a united states citizen, an off duty police officer and showed a los angeles police department identification card. patara appeared to be nervous and was visibly shaking."that's why border agents asked patara and his two passengers to pull over. although patara told agents that those two men were united states citizens, fermin lopez and his nephew, german ramirez- gonzalez, eventually admitted that they were in the country illegally. one of them saying that they had known patara for years and worked for him at his fontana home. he said they had decided to go to a casino in alpine, then another one in campo.. before ending up at the border checkpoint near pine valley. neighbors say they don't know if it's true that patara knew the two men who were in his car. but say, they're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. crystal petrini:"there's always multiple sides to every story. i think that's important for everyone to keep in mind before jumping to conclusions on these types of things."

( marty )for your health this morning... you may be familiar with your blood pressure, but do you know what those numbers really mean? and now there's a third pressure that's important to your overall health and is worth monitoring as well. (áá2 shotáá) our health expert,

karen owoc, is here to explain. (karen)the third blood pressure... pulse pressure is the difference between your systolic pressure (the top number of a blood pressure reading) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). how to calculate pulse pressure pulse pressure is the numeric difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure. á systolic pressure - diastolic pressure = pulse pressure example: blood pressure = 120/80 mm hg 120

mm hg - 80 mm hg = 40 mm hg (pulse pressure) high pulse pressure: predictor of heart attacks and disease á a resting pulse pressure in sitting position in healthy adults is about 30-40 mm hg. á for adults over age 60, especially men, a pulse pressure higher than 60 can be a useful predictor of heart attacks or other cardiovascular disease. á a greater pulse pressure indicates that your vessels are stiffer and more

damaged. if the aorta becomes rigid, such as from atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries"), your pulse pressure would be very high. á per a meta-analysis of several studies of 8,000 elderly subjects, the combined results found that a 10-point increase in pulse pressure increased the risk of major cardiovascular complications and mortality by nearly 20%. á note: a low pulse pressure (i.e., 25 mm hg or less) may mean congestive heart failure and a low volume of blood is ejected per beat.causes of arterial stiffness (loss of elasticity): the most important cause of an elevated pulse pressure is arterial stiffening, in particular, stiffness of the aorta (the largest artery in the body). á arteries stiffen with age,

just like tissues in your skin, lungs, heart, tendons, and joints, due to: á degeneration of elastin fibers á stiffer collagen á fatty deposits damaging the arterial walls resulting in them being less elastic (atherosclerosis) results of arterial stiffness (loss of elasticity): when arteries stiffen, your heart must contract more forcefully with each heart beat in order for your blood to circulate adequately. á the extra work that your heart must perform can lead to physical changes in the musculature of the heart (e.g., size and shape) - the lower chambers (the ventricles) . it's just like

the muscle enlargement that occurs when you work your biceps. á if the remodeling also affects the upper chambers (the atria), it can disrupt the electrical pathways that generate the signals telling your heart when to contract. á the cause of most heart attacks and strokes is the growth and eventual rupture of arterial plaques. which is the better pulse pressure? á 160/120 or 110/70? (pulse pressure in each pair = 40) answer: 160/120 á higher systolic and diastolic pairs imply higher risk of heart attacks and heart disease can atherosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") be reversed? atherosclerosis (coronary heart disease), the buildup of fatty plaque inside your which is the better pulse pressure? á 160/120 or 110/70?
