Contrast echocardiography has also been used to assess blood perfusion throughout myocardium in the case of coronary artery disease.
Greater discussion on the effect of blood perfusion on heat transfer is given in Section 2.
This same moderating phenomena of blood perfusion can be applied to local heat transfer problems e.g. heating of a tumor.
The overall effect is an insufficient blood perfusion in the upper part of the body.
Leakage - a patient can rapidly exsanguinate (lose blood perfusion of tissues) if a line becomes disconnected.
This decreases total intracranial pressure and facilitates blood perfusion.
The glomus cells have a high metabolic rate and good blood perfusion and thus are sensitive to changes in arterial blood gas tension.
After 24 weeks an increased number of collateral vessels and improved recovery in blood perfusion was observed.
This may use the same techniques as local hyperthermia treatment, or it may rely on blood perfusion.
In blood perfusion, the patient's blood is removed from the body, heated up, and returned to blood vessels that lead directly through the desired body part.
