Alterations in left ventricular compliance due to changes in right ventricular volume, pressure and compliance.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Myogenic tone, which has a major role in the regulation of local blood flow, refers to the ability of vascular smooth muscle to adapt its contractility to changes in transmural pressure. Although Rho-kinase is involved in myogenic tone, the pathway involved remains unclear, especially concerning translocation...
