Structural adaptation of vascular networks: role of the pressure response.
Structural reductions in vessel luminal diameters in response to elevated pressure may play a role in the elevation of peripheral resistance generally observed in hypertension. In the present study, a theoretical model is used to simulate the effect of increased driving pressure on flow resistance in microvascular networks. The angioarchitecture (lengths and diameters of all segments, topology)...
متن کاملStructural autoregulation of terminal vascular beds: vascular adaptation and development of hypertension.
-It is widely accepted that the early phase of primary hypertension is characterized by elevated cardiac output, whereas in later stages the increased blood pressure is due to increased peripheral resistance. To study long-term effects of increased blood flow on peripheral resistance, structural adaptation of microvascular networks in response to changes in blood flow was simulated using a prev...
متن کاملDynamics of adaptation at high luminances: adaptation is faster after luminance decrements than after luminance increments.
As is well known, dark adaptation in the human visual system is much slower than is recovery from darkness. We show that at high photopic luminances the situation is exactly opposite. First, we study detection thresholds for a small light flash, at various delays from decrement and increment steps in background luminance. Light adaptation is nearly complete within 100 ms after luminance decreme...
متن کاملPiatelets and Vascular Occlusion
There is evidence that aspirin is partially effective in the prophylaxis of various vasoocclusive disorders. This article reviews pharmacologic opportunities for improvement over and above the therapeutic effect of aspirin. It is concluded that several rational possibilities merit consideration, in particular, the use of combinations of drugs that affect the thrombotic process at different poin...
