The Importance of Vascular Capacitance in Cardiovascular Control

R Hainsworth

Vascular capacitance refers to degree of active constriction of vessels (mainly veins) which affects return of blood to the heart and thus cardiac output. Capacitance changes participate in cardiovascular reflexes but passive volume changes resulting from changes in transmural pressure are likely to be at least as important.
