Fig. 5. Relationship between the ratio of vascular resistance
(Rpul/Rsys) versus the ratio
of blood flows
(
pul/sys)
in the pulmonary and systemic circuits. The box insert shows the same data
points on a double-log scale fitted to a power function. All data points are
from individual measurements following the protocol of groups 1 and 2. For
clarity, individual values with
pul/sys
of >5 and Rpul/Rsys of >4 were
not included in the main figure but are included in the double-log plot.
