Magnetic resonance quantification of regional blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain, gut, kidneys, and lower extremities in adolescents with a Fontan circulation compared to biventricular controls [PDF]
: Background: Accumulation of progressive extracardiac disease is nearly universal for patients with single ventricle heart disease palliated to a Fontan circulation; however, etiologies are poorly understood.

Pancreatic regional blood flow links the endocrine and exocrine diseases [PDF]
An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that disease states of the endocrine or exocrine pancreas aggravate one another, which implies bidirectional blood flow between islets and exocrine cells.

Regional myocardial strain analysis via 2D speckle tracking echocardiography: validation with sonomicrometry and correlation with regional blood flow in the presence of graded coronary stenoses and dobutamine stress [PDF]
Background Quantitative regional strain analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) may be particularly useful in the assessment of myocardial ischemia and viability, although reliable measurement of regional strain remains challenging ...

Regional Myocardial Blood Flow* [PDF]
A method is described which measures the local effectiveness of the myocardial circulation, expressed as a clearance constant. Uniform clearance constants have been demonstrated in the normal canine and human myocardium. A distinct difference in clearance constants has been demonstrated between the normal canine myocardium and areas of naturally ...

Altered cerebral hemodyamics and cortical thinning in asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. [PDF]
Cortical thinning is a potentially important biomarker, but the pathophysiology in cerebrovascular disease is unknown. We investigated the association between regional cortical blood flow and regional cortical thickness in patients with asymptomatic ...

Acute Blood Loss: Regional Blood Flow and Microcirculation (Review, Part II)
It was shown in the first part of the review that the alterations of systemic hemodynamics and microcirculation in acute blood loss led to the development of metabolic disorders and cell damage.

Acute Blood Loss: Regional Blood Flow and Microcirculation (Review, Part I)
The first part of the review highlights the data on the structural and functional organization of the microvas culature; regulation of vascular tone including local (metabolic and myogenic mechanisms, role of endothelium and red blood cells) and systemic
