Blood Flow Measurement: The Cardiac Output and Vascular Resistance
نویسنده
چکیده
The maintenance of blood flow commensurate with the metabolic needs of the body is a fundamental requirement of human life. In the absence of major disease of the vascular tree (e.g., arterial obstruction), the maintenance of appropriate blood flow to the body depends largely on the heart's ability to pump blood in the forward direction. The quantity of blood delivered to the systemic circulation per unit time is termed the cardiac output, generally expressed in liters per minute.

Responses to exogenous dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate of cardiac output and blood flow in the renal, superior mesenteric and carotid arteries in anesthetized dogs.
Changes in the cardiac output and blood flow in the renal, superior mesenteric and carotid arteries in anesthetized dogs were observed, using the non-cannulating electromagnetic flow meter. Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP, 5 mg/kg body weight, was given intravenously and the following results were obtained: 1) Dibutyryl cyclic-AMP increased the stroke volume and the cardiac output, and slightly increased ...
متن کاملHemodynamic Alterations Due to Salmonella Typhosa Endotoxin with Special Reference to the Coronary Vascular
The general physiological and more detailed hemodynamic alterations produced in animals by bacterial endotoxins have been reviewed by Thomas (1) and Gilbert (2). It has been shown that after the administration of endotoxin there is a fall in cardiac output which is accompanied by a decrease in auricular filling. Despite the extensive literature on the hemodynamic effects produced by endotoxin i...
متن کاملDetermination of systemic vascular resistance by a noninvasive technic.
SUMMARY Measurement of systemic vascular resistance in man currently requires arterial and venous cannulation, so that cardiac output and mean arterial blood pressure may be simultaneously determined. This report describes a noninvasive technic for determining systemic vascular resistance (SVR.), utilizing an ultrasonic method for cardiac output measurement, and a combination of sphygmomanometr...
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 کاملResistance training increases basal limb blood flow and vascular conductance in aging humans.
Age-related reductions in basal limb blood flow and vascular conductance are associated with the metabolic syndrome, functional impairments, and osteoporosis. We tested the hypothesis that a strength training program would increase basal femoral blood flow in aging adults. Twenty-six sedentary but healthy middle-aged and older subjects were randomly assigned to either a whole body strength trai...
