Load normalisation1

  • Better oxygen delivery to restored muscle triggers signals that harm brain and lung circulation

    Where this hypothesis actsSplanchnic veins during the abnormal oxygenation-triggered reflex after muscle restoration

    What is proposedSelectively increase venous capacitance

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowSelective splanchnic capacitance enlargement; the means of enlargement is not stated

    Possible resultExpected prevention of the pulmonary filling-pressure rise while cerebral-flow reduction persists
