Monitoring Cardiovascular Performance
Vital signs: HR, blood pressure, respiratory rate,
body temperature
Radial artery routinely used for HR
Other locations also work: where arteries are close
to body surface
– Carotid, femoral, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial

Measuring Blood Pressure
• Systemic arterial BP
– Measured indirectly by auscultatory method
using a sphygmomanometer
– Pressure increased in cuff until it exceeds
systolic pressure in brachial artery
– Pressure released slowly and examiner
listens for sounds of Korotkoff with a
stethoscope
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Measuring Blood Pressure
• Systolic pressure, normally less than 120
mm Hg, is pressure when sounds first
occur as blood starts to spurt through
artery
• Diastolic pressure, normally less than 80
mm Hg, is pressure when sounds
disappear because artery no longer
constricted; blood flowing freely
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Alterations in Blood Pressure
• Hypertension: high blood pressure
Systolic pressure >=140 mmHg or
Diastolic pressure >=90 (or both)
• Chronic (sustained) hypertension
Increased risk of MI (heart attack), heart failure,
stroke, peripheral vascular disease…
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Primary or Essential Hypertension
• Most (90% of) hypertension is “Essential
hypertension”
• No obvious other cause (such as
endocrine disorder, etc.)
• Risk factors: family history, diet, obesity,
age, diabetes mellitus, stress, smoking
• No cure but can be controlled
– Restrict salt, fat intake
– Increase exercise, lose weight, stop smoking
– Antihypertensive drugs
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Homeostatic Imbalance: Hypertension
• Secondary hypertension less common
– Due to identifiable disorders including
obstructed renal arteries, kidney disease, and
endocrine disorders such as hyperthyroidism
and Cushing's syndrome
– Treatment focuses on correcting underlying
cause
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Alterations in Blood Pressure
• Hypotension: low blood pressure
– Blood pressure below 90/60 mm Hg
– Usually not a concern
• Only if leads to inadequate blood flow to tissues
– Often associated with long life and lack of
cardiovascular illness
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Homeostatic Imbalance: Hypotension
• Orthostatic hypotension: temporary low
BP and dizziness when suddenly rising
from sitting or reclining position
• Chronic hypotension: hint of poor
nutrition and warning sign for Addison's
disease or hypothyroidism
• Acute hypotension: important sign of
circulatory shock; threat for surgical
patients and those in ICU
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow Through Body Tissues
• Tissue perfusion involved in
– Delivery of O2 and nutrients to, and removal of
wastes from, tissue cells
– Gas exchange (lungs)
– Absorption of nutrients (digestive tract)
– Urine formation (kidneys)
• Rate of flow is precisely right amount to
provide proper function

Velocity of Blood Flow
• Changes as travels through systemic
circulation
• Inversely related to total cross-sectional
area
• Fastest in aorta; slowest in capillaries;
increases in veins
• Slow capillary flow allows adequate time
for exchange between blood and tissues

Autoregulation
Automatic adjustment of blood flow to tissues to
meet metabolic requirements
Controlled intrinsically (i.e. locally) by modifying
arteriolar diameter - does not require autonomic
nervous system activity
Organs regulate their own blood flows by varying
resistance of their own arterioles
Autoregulation
Two types of autoregulation
• Metabolic control
• Myogenic control
Combination of both determines overall response
Autoregulation
Keeping flow constant when pressure gradient changes.
In a rigid pipe:
Resistance (R) does not change. The equation
Flow = ΔP / R
predicts that when pressure changes, flow will change by
the same percent as pressure.
In an elastic tube:
A pressure change causes a diameter change, and hence a
resistance change:
pressure ↑ ⇒ diameter ↑ ⇒ resistance ↓
As a result, a pressure change will cause a larger flow
change than what you’d get in a rigid pipe.
In a vascular bed with autoregulation:
Flow changes little when the pressure gradient changes.
Percent change in flow is smaller than percent change in
pressure.
Autoregulation
Keeping flow constant when pressure gradient changes.
Graph shows pressure-flow
relation (vertical axis=change in
flow, horiz. axis=change in
pressure) for rigid pipes (),
elastic tubes (), “perfect”
autoregulation (), and actual
measurements in dogs whose
neural reflexes are temporarily
blocked (). We expect
“passive “ blood vessels to look
like . The fact that they look
like  shows they are not
passive – they autoregulate.
Coleman, Granger, Guyton 1971
Measurements in
animals with neural
reflexes blocked
Metabolic Autoregulation
Vasodilation of arterioles and relaxation of
precapillary sphincters occurs in response to
– Declining tissue O2
– Substances from metabolically active tissues (H+,
K+, adenosine, and prostaglandins) and
inflammatory chemicals
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Metabolic Autoregulation
Effects
– Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle if flow
is insufficient for demand
– Release of NO (powerful vasodilator) by
endothelial cells
Endothelins released from endothelium are potent
vasoconstrictors
NO and endothelins balanced unless blood flow
inadequate, then NO wins
Inflammatory chemicals also cause vasodilation
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Myogenic Autoregulation
How it seems to work:
Pressure ↑ ⇒ tension in vessel wall ↑
⇒ vascular smooth muscle constricts
⇒ diameter ↓ ⇒ resistance ↑
Therefore, a pressure change causes a resistance
change that prevents flow from changing as
much as it would have, if resistance had just
stayed the same (or worse, if resistance had
changed in the way you’d expect for an elastic
tube)
P.C. Johnson, Circ Res. 1986.

Long-term Autoregulation
• Occurs when short-term autoregulation
cannot meet tissue nutrient requirements
• Angiogenesis
– Number of vessels to region increases and
existing vessels enlarge
– Common in heart when coronary vessel
occluded, or throughout body in people in
high-altitude areas
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Skeletal Muscles
• Varies with fiber type and activity
– At rest, myogenic and general neural
mechanisms predominate - maintain ~ 1L
/minute
– During muscle activity
• Active or exercise hyperemia - blood flow
increases in direct proportion to metabolic activity
• Local controls override sympathetic
vasoconstriction
• Muscle blood flow can increase 10
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Brain
• Blood flow to brain constant as neurons
intolerant of ischemia; averages 750
ml/min
• Metabolic controls
– Decreased pH of increased carbon dioxide
cause marked vasodilation
• Myogenic controls
– Decreased MAP causes cerebral vessels to
dilate
– Increased MAP causes cerebral vessels to
constrict
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Brain
• Brain vulnerable under extreme systemic
pressure changes
– MAP below 60 mm Hg can cause syncope
(fainting)
– MAP above 160 can result in cerebral edema
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Skin
• Blood flow through skin
– Supplies nutrients to cells (autoregulation in
response to O2 need)
– Helps regulate body temperature (neurally
controlled) – primary function
– Provides a blood reservoir (neurally
controlled)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Skin
• Blood flow to venous plexuses below skin
surface regulates body temperature
– Varies from 50 ml/min to 2500 ml/min,
depending on body temperature
– Controlled by sympathetic nervous system
reflexes initiated by temperature receptors
and central nervous system
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Temperature Regulation
• As temperature rises (e.g., heat exposure,
fever, vigorous exercise)
– Hypothalamic signals reduce vasomotor
stimulation of skin vessels 
– Warm blood flushes into capillary beds 
– Heat radiates from skin
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Temperature Regulation
• Sweat also causes vasodilation via
bradykinin in perspiration
– Bradykinin stimulates NO release
• As temperature decreases, blood is
shunted to deeper, more vital organs
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Lungs
• Pulmonary circuit unusual
– Pathway short
– Arteries/arterioles more like veins/venules
(thin walled, with large lumens)
– Arterial resistance and pressure are low
(24/10 mm Hg)
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Lungs
• Autoregulatory mechanism opposite that in
most tissues
– Low O2 levels cause vasoconstriction; high
levels promote vasodilation
• Allows blood flow to O2-rich areas of lung
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Heart
• During ventricular systole
– Coronary vessels are compressed
• Myocardial blood flow ceases
• Stored myoglobin supplies sufficient oxygen
• During diastole high aortic pressure forces
blood through coronary circulation
• At rest ~ 250 ml/min; control probably
myogenic
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow: Heart
• During strenuous exercise
– Coronary vessels dilate in response to local
accumulation of vasodilators
– Blood flow may increase three to four times
• Important–cardiac cells use 65% of O2 delivered
so increased blood flow provides more O2
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Blood Flow Through Capillaries
• Vasomotion
– Slow, intermittent flow
– Reflects on/off opening and closing of
precapillary sphincters
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Capillary Exchange of Respiratory Gases
and Nutrients
• Diffusion down concentration gradients
– O2 and nutrients from blood to tissues
– CO2 and metabolic wastes from tissues to blood
• Lipid-soluble molecules diffuse directly through
endothelial membranes
• Water-soluble solutes pass through clefts and
fenestrations
• Larger molecules, such as proteins, are actively
transported in pinocytotic vesicles or caveolae

Fluid Movements: Bulk Flow
• Fluid leaves capillaries at arterial end;
most returns to blood at venous end
– Extremely important in determining relative
fluid volumes in blood and interstitial space
• Direction and amount of fluid flow depend
on two opposing forces: hydrostatic and
colloid osmotic pressures
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hydrostatic Pressures
• Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc)
(capillary blood pressure)
– Tends to force fluids through capillary walls
– Greater at arterial end (35 mm Hg) of bed
than at venule end (17 mm Hg)
• Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure
(HPif)
– Pressure that would push fluid into vessel
– Usually assumed to be zero because of
lymphatic vessels
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Colloid Osmotic Pressures
• Capillary colloid osmotic pressure
(oncotic pressure) (OPc)
– Created by nondiffusible plasma proteins,
which draw water toward themselves
– ~26 mm Hg
• Interstitial fluid osmotic pressure (OPif)
– Low (~1 mm Hg) due to low protein content
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Hydrostatic-osmotic Pressure Interactions:
Net Filtration Pressure (NFP)
• NFP—comprises all forces acting on
capillary bed
– NFP = (HPc + OPif) – (HPif + OPc)
• Net fluid flow out at arterial end
• Net fluid flow in at venous end
• More leaves than is returned
– Excess fluid returned to blood via lymphatic
system

Figure 19.17 Bulk fluid flow across capillary walls causes continuous mixing of fluid between the plasma and the
interstitial fluid compartments, and maintains the interstitial environment. (1 of 5)
The big picture
Fluid filters from capillaries at their arteriolar
end and flows through the interstitial space.
Most is reabsorbed at the venous end.
Arteriole
Fluid moves through
the interstitial space.
For all capillary beds,
20 L of fluid is filtered
out per day—almost 7
times the total plasma
volume!
Net filtration pressure (NFP) determines the
direction of fluid movement. Two kinds of
pressure drive fluid flow:
Hydrostatic pressure (HP)
• Due to fluid pressing against a
boundary
• HP “pushes” fluid across the
boundary
• In blood vessels, is due to blood
pressure
Osmotic pressure (OP)
• Due to nondiffusible solutes that
cannot cross the boundary
• OP “pulls” fluid across the
boundary
• In blood vessels, is due to
plasma proteins

Interstitial fluid
Hydrostatic
pressure in
interstitial fluid
“pushes” fluid
into capillary.
Osmotic pressure
in interstitial fluid
“pulls” fluid out
of capillary.
To determine the pressure driving
the fluid out of the capillary at any
given point, we calculate the net
filtration pressure (NFP)––the
outward pressures (HPc and OPif)
minus the inward pressures
(HPif and OPc). So,
NFP = (HPc + OPif) – (HPif + OPc)
= (35 + 1) – (0 + 26)
= 10 mm Hg (net outward
pressure)
As a result, fluid moves from the
capillary into the interstitial space.

interstitial fluid compartments, and maintains the interstitial environment. (5 of 5)

Again, we calculate the NFP:
NFP = (HPc + OPif) – (HPif + OPc)
= (17 + 1) – (0 + 26)
= –8 mm Hg (net inward
pressure)
Notice that the NFP at the venous
end is a negative number. This
means that reabsorption, not
filtration, is occurring and so fluid
moves from the interstitial space
into the capillary.
Circulatory Shock
• Any condition in which
– Blood vessels inadequately filled
– Blood cannot circulate normally
• Results in inadequate blood flow to meet
tissue needs
© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
Circulatory Shock
• Hypovolemic shock: results from largescale blood loss
• Vascular shock: results from extreme
vasodilation and decreased peripheral
resistance
• Cardiogenic shock results when an
inefficient heart cannot sustain adequate
circulation

Body
• Two main circulations
– Pulmonary circulation: short loop that runs
from heart to lungs and back to heart
– Systemic circulation: long loop to all parts of
body and back to heart
