Examples in Context
- The determination of cardiac index, total peripheral resistance and peripheral lymphocyte adrenergic beta receptors in patients with essential hypertension
- Measuring Total Peripheral Resistance(TPR) with Reconstructed Impedance Cardiogram
- In this study, beta-adrenoceptor density and affinity of peripheral lymphocytes from patients with established hypertension were measured by radioligand binding assay while cardiac index ( CI ) and total peripheral resistance ( TPR ) were determined by echocardiography in comparison with those of normotensive volunteers.
- Before and after gastrodin administration, the blood pressure, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, inertance of blood in arterial vessels, and proximal and distal compliance in 10 dogs were measured and calculated.
- During the 4th hour of the control period, the aortic blood pressure, total peripheral resistance and pulmonary vascular resistance were increased, while the cardiac index and the work of both ventricles reduced.
