NCIt related terms : SVR; TPR; Total Peripheral Resistance;
NCIt definition : The resistance to blood flow offered by all systemic vasculature, excluding pulmonary
vasculature. The major determinant of SVR is arteriolar tone, but blood viscosity
and vascular capacitance are also contributing factors.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The resistance to blood flow through the systemic vasculature.; ACC/AHA: Systemic vascular resistance is calculated as the systemic mean arterial
blood pressure minus right arterial pressure divided by cardiac output.;
