Besides an increase in population, another problem is vehicles overloading the network of highways and arterial streets.

On a larger level, vasoconstriction is one mechanism by which the body regulates and maintains mean arterial pressure.

This is the basis of the famous Cherry red spot seen on examination of the retina on funduscopy of a central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO).

Sometimes, for example if a patient coughs just when an embolus is passing, it might cross to the arterial system.

CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system.

Arterial ultrasound, especially of the carotid arteries, with measurement of the thickness of the artery wall, offers a way to partially track the disease progression.

Consequently, the Sun was the fire that one could see through a hole the same size as the Earth on the farthest wheel, and an eclipse corresponded with the occlusion of that hole.

Hypertension (HTN or HT) or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.

Respiratory failure is inadequate gas exchange by the respiratory system, with the result that levels of arterial oxygen, carbon dioxide or both cannot be maintained within their normal ranges.

The Holter's most common use is for monitoring heart activity (electrocardiography or ECG), but it can also be used for monitoring brain activity (electroencephalography or EEG) or arterial pressure.

This phenomenon has been studied by Burke (1952), who discovered that the optimal amount of time for giving the impression of a single object is shorter than what is actually needed to cross the occlusion at that speed.

The A90 is the main arterial route into the city from the north and south, linking Aberdeen to Edinburgh, Dundee, Brechin and Perth in the south and Ellon, Peterhead and Fraserburgh in the north.

Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries (Windkessel vessels).

An analysis of arterial blood is used to determine the need for oxygen this is recommended in those with an FEV1 less than 35 predicted, those with a peripheral oxygen saturation of less than 92 and those with symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Patients are recommended for transplant if they have an arterial blood pH less than 7.3 after fluid resuscitation or if a patient has Grade III or IV encephalopathy, a prothrombin time greater than 100 seconds, and a serum creatinine greater than 300 mmol L In a 24 hour period.
