    This study re-evaluates Starling's concept of mean systemic pressure. Findings suggest mean systemic pressure and mean vascular compression are distinct, with plasma osmotic pressure driving blood pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Hemodynamics

    Background:

    • Starling's concept of mean systemic pressure is foundational in cardiovascular physiology.
    • The relationship between blood volume, vascular capacity, and venous return requires clarification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically examine Starling's concept of mean systemic pressure.
    • To differentiate between pressure and compression in the cardiovascular system.
    • To identify the true origin of blood pressure and propose a more accurate measure of mean systemic compression.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental investigation of Starling's method for measuring mean systemic pressure.
    • Remasurement of mean systemic pressure using a modified approach.
    • Development and description of a novel entity representing mean systemic compression.

    Main Results:

    • Starling's method for measuring mean systemic pressure was found to not accurately reflect mean vascular compression in vivo.
    • Remesurements yielded significantly different values for mean systemic pressure compared to Starling's original estimations.
    • The origin of blood pressure was identified as the net osmotic pressure of plasma.

    Conclusions:

    • Mean systemic pressure and mean vascular compression are distinct physiological parameters.
    • Plasma osmotic pressure is the primary determinant of blood pressure.
    • A new metric for mean systemic compression offers a more accurate representation of in vivo conditions.
