Vascular resistance. Data in dynes/sec/cm5 are obtained at baseline, after ischemia/reperfusion (IR) protocol, initial AVP infusions (AVP-initial), mean pressure of 90 mmHg (AVP-90 mmHg) and after drug withdrawal (Withdrawal) (n = 9). The values are calculated as (MAP-CVP)/(specific organ flow). SVR, systemic vascular resistance; Carotid, specific resistance in right carotid artery; LAD, specific resistance in left anterior descending artery supplying left ventricle; Renal, specific resistance in main artery supplying left kidney; Hepatic, specific resistance in main liver artery. *Significant difference from (IR); †significant difference between (AVP-90 mmHg) and (Withdrawal).
