Distensibility Characteristics of the Human Pulmonary Vascular Bed
نویسندگان
چکیده
The changes in pulmonary blood flow, pressure, and volume during supine exercise are studied in seven patients without cardiovascular abnormality, 12 patients with aortic valve disease, 13 patients with mitral valve disease, and five patients with primary myocardial or pericardial disease. The degree of distensibility of the pulmonary vascular bed is assessed by the simultaneous changes in the magnitude of the pulmonary distending pressure (average of pulmonary artery and left atrial pressure) and of the pulmonary blood volume.

Distensibility characteristics of the human pulmonary vascular bed. Study of the pressure-volume response to exercise in patients with and without heart disease.
The changes in pulmonary blood flow, pressure, and volume during supine exercise are studied in seven patients without cardiovascular abnormality, 12 patients with aortic valve disease, 13 patients with mitral valve disease, and five patients with primary myocardial or pericardial disease. The degree of distensibility of the pulmonary vascular bed is assessed by the simultaneous changes in the ...
متن کاملInfluence of Carotid Baroreceptors and Vasoactive Drugs on Systemic Vascular Volume and Venous Distensibility
THE IMPORTANCE of the carotid and aortic baroreceptors in the reflex control of heart rate, peripheral vascular resistance, and myocardial contractility is well appreciated. It has long been suspected that an important additional factor in circulatory regulation is the distensibility and capacity of the venous bed." The multiple circulatory effects of the baroreceptors have made precise study o...
متن کاملSome regulatory mechanisms of the human pulmonary vascular bed.
THERE IS still a question regarding the presence of active mechanisms of control for the pulmonary vessels in man. The controversy continues, since evidence for active vasomotion has usually been indirect. Because, in the past, it has been assumed that changes in pulmonary vascular resistance necessarily reflect changes in pulmonary vascular caliber, workers have drawn conflicting conclusions f...
متن کاملThe distensibility characteristics of the portal vascular bed.
The distensibility of the splanchnic portion of the portal system has been evaluated by studying pressure and volume changes with or without any interruption of blood flow. The results of these determinations indicate two types of distensibility of the system: (1) a rapid elastic distension representing relatively small volumes, and (2) a secondary phase of slow distension, designated "delayed ...
متن کاملA theoretical method for estimating small vessel distensibility in humans.
A simple theoretical approach is presented for estimating vascular distensibility of small blood vessels from noninvasively obtained pressure-flow data in the hand and forearm of human subjects. To the extent that Poiseuille's law applies to blood flow in these vascular beds, conductance (the reciprocal of vascular resistance) can be calculated from these data as the ratio of blood flow to mean...
