Arterial Circulation and the Heart

  • Chapter
The Arterial Circulation

  • 133 Accesses

Abstract

In hemodynamic terms, the function of the heart is to provide energy and to perfuse the organ vascular beds. For the heart to accomplish this efficiently, the arterial system plays a central role as the distributing conduits. Both the distributing arteries and the peripheral vascular beds present the load to the heart. Peripheral resistance has been popularly viewed in the clinical setting as the vascular load to the heart. This applies mostly to steady-flow conditions. This description is naturally inadequate, because of the pulsatile nature of blood flow, which remains throughout the microcirculation. Pulsatility implies that there is an oscillatory or pulsatile contribution to the vascular load to the heart.
