distensibility

Distensibility was estimated as the slope of the regression line for each individual animal.

A decrease in collagen production with iron deficiency could account for this enhanced distensibility.

Also, distensibility was significantly increased, which we suggest may be due to a reduction in arterial collagen.

The distensibility of the large elastic arteries is therefore analogous to a capacitor.

The elasticity and distensibility also decline with age, which can result in gradual dilatation of the segment.

These influences collectively lead to a downhill in distensibility and elasticity (ability to stretch) of the myocardium.

Analysis of Variance was then performed on distensibility and 100 mmHg external diameter.

Second, abdominal aortas from iron deficient rats display not only increased diameters, but also significant increases in distensibility.

Aortic distensibility, the increase in external diameter during stepwise internal pressure increases, is also shown in figure 6.

Variations in rectal tone as shown by Bell et al might change rectal distensibility upon distension.

If this is similarly true for arteries in iron deficient animals, a significant increase in distensibility would result, altering the normal pressure-volume relationship.

This occurs as the lungs in this case become fibrotic, lose their distensibility and become stiffer.

The measurement of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide indicated that these changes were due to the gravitational effects on the distensibility of the right heart.

We need further investigations, however, including larger populations of men and women to confirm the tendency of higher low pressure distensibility in women than in men.

Dilated ("remodeled") hearts have increased volume relative to the amount of diastolic pressure, and therefore have increased (not decreased) distensibility.

The capacitance of blood vessels describes the distensibility of blood vessels located within the body; it is inversely related to elasticity.

The influence of smooth muscle cells within the wall of a tubular organ upon intraluminar distensions is shown in studies of vascular distensibility.

Commonly, rectal distensibility is determined as rectal compliance and calculated as the changes of volume and intrarectal pressure ().

Variations in vascular muscle stiffness change arterial distensibility, for example, when the arterial muscle contracts, the vessel is less distensible.

These include increased platelet aggregation and blood viscosity and decreased vascular bed distensibility (Khosla et al, 1979; Faris et al, 1982).

Delayed stomach emptying Gastric outlet obstruction Decreased stomach distensibility Irritable bowel syndrome Dyspepsia Follow your health care provider's recommendations.

Diosmin prolongs the vasoconstrictor effect of norepinephrine on the vein wall, increasing venous tone, and therefore reducing venous capacitance, distensibility, and stasis.

Smoking also enhances platelet aggregation, impairs lipoprotein metabolism, depresses high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and reduces distensibility of vessel walls [3,4].

A leftward shift of the end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (i.e. decreased left ventricular distensibility) can occur both in those with normal and those with decreased left ventricular systolic function.
