31 Predicting compliance Defining our target Compliance ability of a hollow organ to distend and increase volume with increasing transmural pressure. Low compliance = stiffness Compromised Windkessel effect that helps converting pulsatile ejection of blood to a more steady flow Increased load on heart, as it needs to perform more work to maintain stroke volume Leads to left ventricular remodelling Increased risk of cardiovascular event Image taken from wikipedia, author Edoarado
