No immediate clinical implications; hypothesis-generating for venous-arterial interactions in limbs, requiring human validation.
This preclinical study demonstrates that femoral artery pressure-flow relations are linear and that venous pressure elevation increases effective downstream arterial pressure and resistance through both local mechanisms and alpha-adrenergic reflexes.
Ehrlich et al. (1980) studied this question.
