Effects of arterial load variations on dynamic arterial elastance: an experimental study

Conclusions. Acute modifications of arterial load induced significant changes on Eadyn; vasodilatation increased Eadyn, whereas vasoconstriction decreased it. The Eadyn was associated with both arterial load and cardiac factors, suggesting that Eadyn should be more properly considered as a ventriculo-arterial coupling index.
