Examples in Context

  1. In patients, because they have decreased peripheral resistance they have high cardiac output.
  2. And there is no reason why this happens is because peripheral resistance slows down the outflow of blood from the main artery to artery to maintain a certain degree of expansion.
  3. Then, comparisons of the effects of arterial compliance, peripheral resistance, length, internal radius and wall thickness on the input impedance were made based on the recursive algorithm.
  4. Measuring Total Peripheral Resistance(PR) with Reconstructed Impedance Cardiogram
  5. The determination of cardiac index, total peripheral resistance and peripheral lymphocyte adrenergic beta receptors in patients with essential hypertension
