Any factor which decreases either cardiac output or peripheralvascularresistancediminishes systemic arterial pressure and hence cerebral perfusion.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Placentalvascularresistancewas then calculated from steady state pressure and flow data.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Nevertheless, severe pulmonary hypertension and elevated pulmonaryvascularresistancewere present.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Oximetric studies were performed in six patients (one older and five younger patients) to determine the reversibility of an initially high pulmonaryvascularresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Conversely, systemicvascularresistancedid not change at all neither after loading with nitric oxide nor after combined administration of nitric oxide and beraprost.
From theCambridge English Corpus
At all levels of inspired oxygen (1.00, 0.21 and 0.15), ventilation at a pressure of 15 cm of water increased pulmonaryvascularresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The hemodynamic responses to each vasodilator were evaluated by calculating the percentage change in pulmonaryvascularresistance, and the ratio of pulmonary-to-systemic resistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
All had lowered pulmonaryvascularresistanceor systolic pulmonary artery pressure compared to preoperative values.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There were no correlations between the postoperative pulmonary artery size and the postoperative cardiac index, the pulmonaryvascularresistanceor the pulmonary artery pressure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If the pulmonary-to-systemic flow ratio is still too high, arterial carbon dioxide tension can be raised further to increase pulmonaryvascularresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In both groups the pulmonaryvascularresistanceshowed no significant change.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These changes in pulmonaryvascularresistanceare shown for end-expiratory pressure levels of 0, 5, and 15 cm of water.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Increased pulmonaryvascularresistancein the dependent zone of the isolated dog lung caused by penvascular edema.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With the onset of a decreased systemicvascularresistanceof pregnancy, these fixed output states compensate poorly and symptoms of cardiac insufficiency are common.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Using this technique, real-time changes in systemicvascularresistance, stroke volume and cardiac output can be non-invasively measured during orthostatic stress.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The improvement of cardiac function in right heart failure was first demonstrated in adults with respiratory distress syndrome12 due to reduced pulmonaryvascularresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As pulmonaryvascularresistancefalls, the regurgitant fraction will decrease accordingly, effectively reducing the volume load on the right ventricle.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Inhaled nitric oxide improves gas exchange and lowers pulmonaryvascularresistancein severe experimental hyaline membrane disease.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As expected, both increasing positive end-expiratory pressure and decreasing fraction of inspired oxygen increased pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary arterialvascularresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For those who responded to salt supplementation, the forearmvascularresistancealso increased.
