Abstract: | Two equations have been developed that describe the interrelationship of the clinically measurable variables of the human
systemic arterial system. An approximation method is given for their simultaneous solution for systolic and diastolic pressures
in terms of heart rate, cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and aortic distensibility. In this way, blood pressures
were calculated for various clinically important and didactically useful situations. The effects on systolic and diastolic
pressures due to changing either cardiac output or peripheral resistance or heart rate or aortic distensibility alone are
shown. The effects on pulse pressure of varying cardiac output and peripheral resistance while holding mean arterial pressure
constant are demonstrated. Compensatory mechanisms in hypertension and exercise are explored.
