Which of these changes will result in increased blood pressure?
| decreased blood viscosity |
| increased blood volume |
| decrease cardiac output |
| increased vessel radius |
Answer
The change that will result in increased blood pressure is :
- 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.
