A member asked:
Why does the venous pressure increase if co decreases (as in heart failure)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Venous pressure: Complicated to explain but to oversimplify, the venous pressure increases when the fluid volume in the venous beds increases and can't be pumped out adequately by the right side of the heart. There are many processes in play and when heart failure is present, fluid is retained and right heart pressure may increase causing venous pressure to increase.
