Abstract
Elevated venous pressure due to failure of the right heart is accompanied by increase in the tension of the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal pressure is almost always, if not always, higher than the venous pressure. The increased cerebrospinal pressure is due principally to engorgement of the intra-cranial and intraspinal vessels, but edematous swelling of the nervous tissues and meninges also participates.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
