Decreased availability of oxygen to metabolizing cells is a major feature of circulatory shock that leads to tissue damage and multiple organ dysfunctions. A wish to alleviate tissue hypoxia ...

Alterations in circulatory dynamics induced by the action of the tank respirator, the effect of hypoxia on myocardial proficiency, the production of pulmonary edema by specific neurologic lesions ...

We have studied the acute circulatory response to high altitude hypoxia and investigated the extent to which shifts in the circulating blood volumes, if any, could be related to the time lag and ...

Expanding the criteria to include hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD ... relies on organs donated after brain death (DBD), thereby limiting the amount of hypoxia to the heart, which is ...

COPD hypoxia happens when a lung disease like emphysema makes it difficult to breathe, reducing the amount of oxygen in your body. This condition can be life threatening. The inability to get ...

“Muscle microvasculature responds to hypoxia by dilating in an attempt ... as changes in muscle blood flow affect the function of the whole circulatory system,” Korpisalo says.

The condition can result in frequent periods of decreased oxygen levels in the body, known as intermittent hypoxia. "While it is well established that sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure ...

When a person has diabetes, the heart cells are less able to tolerate hypoxia and therefore die ... have a higher risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases. "They’re then more likely ...
