Cardiovascular Homeostasis

Meaning

Cardiovascular homeostasis represents the complex physiological balance maintained by the circulatory system to ensure adequate blood flow, pressure, and oxygen delivery to all peripheral tissues and organs. This dynamic equilibrium involves precise regulation of heart rate, stroke volume, and vascular tone. It is fundamentally critical for sustaining life and overall systemic health. Disruptions to this balance, often influenced by hormonal shifts, predispose an individual to significant cardiovascular morbidity.
