Abstract
- The authors discuss research published within the issue concerning stiffness and blood flow problems in downstream and upstream arteries. Topics covered include the effects of the stiffness of large artery on cerebral and skeletal muscle vasculature, greater pulsability of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) compared to the gastrocnemius feed artery and the dependence of MCA on nitrous oxide to elicit dilatation.
