Fast Local Regulations of Muscle pO2-Fields in Patients Suffering from Cirrhosis of the Liver

  • Chapter
Oxygen Transport to Tissue—VI

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 180))

Abstract

It is well established that in many patients suffering from cirrhosis of the liver the pulmonary pattern of microcirculation is disturbed (1). An increased mixed venous O2 saturation and a “hyperdynamic” circulatory state were observed in these cases (2).
