Localization of vascular resistance changes during hypertension.
Aincrease in the vascular resistance of virtually every organ system is a wellknown characteristic of hypertension, as modeled by spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and renovascular hypertensive rats. However, the most important issue may be where in the macrovasculature and microvasculature of a given organ the greatest increase in resistance occurs. The relevance of this issue can be consi...
متن کاملFunctional versus structural changes of forearm vascular resistance in hypertension.
Structural changes in resistance vessels have been considered an important factor in triggering and maintaining chronic hypertension in humans and in experimental animals. To determine whether the increased forearm vascular resistance observed following vasodilator maneuvers in hypertensive patients is predominantly due to structural or to functional changes, we examined the influence of differ...
متن کاملMagnesium and Vascular Changes in Hypertension
Many factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including changes in intracellular concentrations of calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. There is a significant inverse correlation between serum magnesium and incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Magnesium is a mineral with important functions in the body such as antiarrhythmic effect, actions in vascular tone, cont...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular resistance and compliance stay inversely related during treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
AIMS Pulmonary arterial compliance (C) is increasingly being recognized as an important contributor to right ventricular afterload, but for monitoring of treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) most often still only pulmonary vascular resistance (R) is used. We aimed at testing the hypothesis that R and C are coupled during treatment of PH and that substantial changes in both R and C would res...
متن کاملPartitioning of pulmonary vascular resistance in primary pulmonary hypertension.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the site of increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in primary pulmonary hypertension by standard bedside hemodynamic evaluation. BACKGROUND The measurement of pulmonary vascular pressures at several levels of flow (Q) allows the discrimination between active and passive, flow-dependent changes in mean pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa), and may de...
