Implication
Should not change practice; extends evidence that tibial artery smooth muscle can actively modulate hemodynamics in animals.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Dog tibial artery model
I
Intervention
Direct electrical stimulation or stimulation of the sciatic nerve
C
Comparator
Baseline conditions (initial pressure adjusted between 25 to 120 mm Hg at constant volume, or 50 to 250 mm Hg at constant flow-rate)
O
Outcome
Arterial pressure increasesurrogate
Smooth vascular muscle in the tibial artery, generally considered musculoelastic, can considerably modify hemodynamic conditions upon stimulation.
