pubmed-article:9375988 | pubmed:abstractText | The cardiovascular system can be described as a network of constantly oscillating physical, hormonal and neural feedback loops. They operate in a concerted fashion in order to provide the body with its daily needs. Inability to maintain cardiovascular homeostasis may be the result of relatively well-tolerated but repeated disturbances, or a single overwhelming event. The development of clinical cardiovascular disease may thus be viewed as failure to compensate for such alterations successfully. | lld:pubmed |
