Vascular resistance10
- The left ventricle (LV) must generate a relatively high-pressure gradient to overcome the high systemic vascular resistance (SVR), whereas the RV needs to generate a lower pressure gradient to overcome the lower pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). (medscape.com)
- Systemic vascular resistance is usually decreased with administration of dobutamine. (nih.gov)
- Indeed, it was shown that vasopressin is a more potent vasoconstrictor than angiotensin II or norepinephrine and is capable of increasing systemic vascular resistance in doses less than those required to produce maximum urine concentration. (onteenstoday.com)
