Hypoxia and the Circulation

Hypoxia refers to a condition in which the body or some part of the body does not receive enough oxygen supply at the tissue level. It can be categorized as either generalized, where entire body is affected, or localized, where a part of the body is affected. It is a pathological condition including changes in the arterial oxygen concentrations. These types of changes can also occur during normal physiology, such as while doing vigorous physical activity and hypoventilation training. Hypoxia can be caused due to the failure in the delivery of oxygen to the cells. This condition results in increased heart rate and aortic blood flow, and it decreases the peripheral resistance. Oxygen supply and blood flow is increased towards the vital organs, which is an indicator that redistribution of blood flow is essential for the oxygen supply. This book unravels the recent studies on hypoxia and circulation. It consists of contributions made by international experts. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
