Increase in Mean Circulatory Pressure in Goldblatt Hypertension.

RICHARDSON, TRAVIS Q., JOSE D. FERMOSO, AND ARTHUR C. GUYTON. Increase in mean circulatory pressure in Goldblatt hypertension. Am. J. Physiol. 207(4): 751-752. rg6+-Ten dogs were made hypertensive by the Goldblatt technique. The mean arterial pressure increased from an average control value of I I 7 mm Hg up to I 61 mm Hg. After the animals had become hypertensive, the mean circulatory pressures were measured. These averaged 9.03 (ko.31 SEM) mm Hg, compared with measurements of mean circulatory pressure in ten normal dogs which averaged 7.0 (ho. 17 SEM) mm Hg. The increase in mean circulatory pressure was highly significant (t = 5.75).
