You have an older patient who over the years has steady increase in blood pressure due to changes in the blood vessel compliance.
a: explain how blood vessel compliance can increase blood pressure
b: what do you prescribe the patient due to lower blood pressure
Blood Vessel Compliance is a property of blood vessels. It it is the ability of these blood vessels to contract and expand depending on the pressure and volume of blood flowing through them. The blood vessel should be able to expand at higher pressure and volume and contract back to its original form. This is know as compliance. When a blood vessel has a higher compliance, it deforms to its original state much faster than the one with a lower compliance. Blood vessel depends on the volume and pressure changes in the blood and is given by the following equation:
