title: Calculating vascular resistances.
abstract: Vascular resistance calculations often affect decisions regarding therapeutic options encountered by physicians and their patients. However, many of the terms, units, and methods used when calculating vascular resistances are ambiguous. This report attempts to clarify some of these ambiguities and suggests methods for predicting normal vascular resistances.
