Which of these changes will result in increased blood pressure?


Which of these changes will result in increased blood pressure?

decreased blood viscosity
increased blood volume
decrease cardiac output
increased vessel radius

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer

The change that will result in increased blood pressure is :

  • Increased blood volume

- With increase in blood volume, the stroke volume and cardiac output also increases.
- The increased volume of blood exerts more pressure against the arterial wall resulting in increased blood pressure.

Option B
