Lecture 22: Control of Blood Pressure
Blood flows only when its pressure is higher at one place than in another, and it flows always from the place of higher pressure towards the place of... -
Pathophysiology of Hypertension or High Blood Pressure
In the previous chapter, we described the renal vasoactive hormones and their contribution to kidney excretory function and blood pressure... -
Association of central blood pressure with an exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise among elite athletes
PurposeThe systolic blood pressure/workload (SBP/MET) slope was recently reported to be a reliable parameter to identify an exaggerated blood...
