[Hemodynamics in controlled normovolemic hemodilution in patients with obliterative vascular diseases]
Abstract:
The influence of acute controlled normovolemic hemodilution on the parameters of central hemodynamics was studied in 40 patients with obliterating diseases of lower extremities with eukinetic, hyperkinetic and hypokinetic types of blood circulation. Cardiac output was found to increase and general peripheral resistance to decrease after hemodilution. The greatest changes were noted in patients with the initial hypodynamic type of blood circulation. It was found that 24% increase of the oxygen transport function of the blood circulation was reached without an increase of the intensity of cardiac activity and hypoxia of the myocardium.

Regulation of Stroke Volume
Preload refers to the degree of stretch on the heart before it contracts. It's analogous to the stretching of a rubber band; the more it's stretched, the more forcefully it snaps back. This concept is encapsulated in the Frank-Starling law of the...
Vascular Resistance
The primary determinants of vascular resistance are vessel diameter, blood viscosity, and vessel length. Among these, vessel diameter plays the most significant role due to the fourth power relationship described by...

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
