It has been suggested that this is the result of a decrease in totalperipheralresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Consequently, to maintain adequate blood pressure, there must be an increase inperipheralresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
During the evolution of the clinical phase of pre-eclampsia, they observed a marked reduction in cardiac output and an increase inperipheralresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Elevated cardiac output and lowperipheralresistancewere found to be related to endothelial activation and inflammatory response.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As the intra-arterial blood pressures increased during exercise their totalperipheralresistancehad to be much higher than expected, indicating a changed blood pressure regulation.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
These include the heart rate, stroke volume andperipheralresistancewhich in turn are in-uenced by many other factors depending on the physical or emotional state of the individual.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An active state of peripheral vasodilation, whether through decreased constrictor sensitivity or enhanced dilator synthesis thus provides the most obvious explanation for a fall inperipheralresistance.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Sympathetic inhibition leads to a drop inperipheralresistance, while parasympathetic activation leads to a depressed heart rate (reflex bradycardia) and contractility.
