Abstract:Introduction: Acute hemorrhage decreases blood pressure (BP) and sometimes causes hypovolemic shock. At this time, peripheral arteries are supposed to contract and increase peripheral vascular resistance to raise BP. However, there have not been an adequate index of a degree of arterial stiffness. We assessed changes in arterial stiffness during rapid bleeding using new BP-independent vascular indices, aBeta and ifBeta, determined by applying the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) theory to the elastic (aorta)… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
