Peripheral Vascular Resistance

KS7G6KQ75FZF5JSGD4DT

Vascular resistance is the resistance that must be overcome to push blood through the circulatory system and create flow.The resistance offered by the systemic circulation is known as the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) or may sometimes be called by the older term total peripheral resistance (TPR), while the resistance offered by the pulmonary circulation is known as the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Systemic vascular resistance is used in calculations of blood pressure, blood flow, and cardiac function. Vasoconstriction increases SVR, whereas vasodilation decreases SVR.
