The Cerebral Microcirculation in Ischemia and Hypoxemia

The Arisztid G. B. Kovách Memorial Lecture

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 530))

Abstract

One of the most recognized aspects of Professor Kovách’s work is his extensive study on the mechanisms of hemorrhagic shock, particularly the role of sympathetic activation and vascular dysfunction in producing irreversible injury to vital organs. He was interested in the tolerance and limits of physiological adaptation of the circulatory system and how these tolerances were compromised, in particular in the brain, in shock, hypoxia and ischemia.
