Arterial Compliance — Physiological Viewpoint
1989The aorta and large arteries are generally thought of as conduit vessels whose main function is to provide a path for blood to reach the periphery. However, it has long been recognized that the cardiovascular system functions in more complex fashion than merely as a simple resistance to blood flow.

Military Diving Training Improved Arterial Compliance
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009This study was aimed at investigating whether repeated SCUBA diving might induce long term cardiovascular and autonomic modifications. In 11 military mine clearance diving students, arterial compliance (ultrasound scan study of brachial artery and ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure: SV/PP), resting spectral analyses of heart rate and blood ...

Compliance changes in glutaraldehyde-treated arteries
Journal of Surgical Research, 1986Glutaraldehyde tanning of carotid arteries was used to develop a model for studying the effects of compliance on arterial graft performance, independent of other graft parameters. Canine carotid segments were filled with dilute phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde (0-0.5%, pH 7.4), maintained at physiological pressure, and then immersed in either saline ...

Arterial Compliance in Hypertension
2001The arterial circulation represents a branching system of conduits that conduct blood from the heart to the capillaries, where exchange of nutrients and waste products occurs between tissue cells and the blood. The large arteries are distensible and act as an elastic reservoir storing part of the energy of cardiac contraction that maintains pressure ...

Coronary artery compliance in the dog
Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1982Measurement of left anterior descending coronary arterial pressure, phasic coronary flow, and intramyocardial pressure in an open-chest dog provided data, which when entered into the computer model of the coronary circulation, permitted calculation of coronary artery compliance and resistance during systole and diastole.

Assessment of arterial compliance in hypertension
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1993Traditionally, hypertension has been defined in terms of an elevated resistance to flow confined predominantly to the precapillary vasculature. More recently, changes in arterial compliance have been used to estimate vascular adaptations in the larger conduit arteries.

Pregnancy and arterial compliance.
The Journal of reproductive medicine, 2008To examine the hypothesis that pregnancy is associated with vascular remodeling, leading to an increased vascular compliance that can be observed in subsequent pregnancies.Chart review of41 multiparous deliveries at our institution from a 2-month period in 2004.

Arterial compliance in hypertension.
Journal of human hypertension, 1989The arterial system has two distinct functions: to deliver an adequate supply of blood to body tissues (conduit function) and to smooth the pulsations resulting from intermittent ventricular ejection. A reduction in lumen diameter leads to an abnormal conduit function and has adverse effects (ischaemia) downstream, whilst stiffening of the vessel wall ...
