Abstract
In summary, the studies suggest that: (1) Simultaneous and controlled constriction of the brachiocephalic and left subclavian arteries resulted in chronic femoral hypertension in seven dogs. (2) This hypertension is associated heniodynamically with an increase in cardiac index due mainly to an increased stroke volume. (3) The suggestion is made that the initiating mechanism for this type of experimental hypertension is a chronic decrease in endosinal pulse pressure.
