Flow
= Conductance * Pressure
A progressive
drop in vascular resistance (inc. in conductance)
causes a progressive rise in cardiac output (flow)
Changes in Key Variables
 Cardiac
Output |
Rises progressively |
 Conductance |
As ease of flow rises |
 Arterial
Pressure |
while driving pressure remains essentially unchanged. |
