A member asked:
Can you tell me the pathophysiology of hypotension (why hypotension occurs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypotension: Hypotension implies a decreased peripheral vascular resistance, decreased intravascular volume and/or inadequate cardiac force generation in systole. Normal pressure has adequate amounts of all these to result in a normal pressure range. Decrease in one or all contributes to hypotension.
