Vasoconstriction does what to blood pressure?

Answer 1

Vasoconstriction elevates blood pressure because it increases resistance and therefore increases cardiac output.

Answer 2

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Answer 3

Induced vasoconstriction increases and reflex vasoconstriction maintains blood pressure.

Answer 4

It raises it because it is the equivalent of taking a constant volume pump and passing the liquid though a smaller pipe.

That is why vasodilators are used as one way to lower blood pressure.

Answer 5

Raises it. That's why many blood pressure medication are vasodilators.

Answer 6

Elevates it.
