The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is atherosclerosis, the same condition that causes narrowing of the arteries in coronary heart disease and stroke, and the risk factors are the same as well. Cholesterol plaques build up along the walls of the renal artery and gradually cause narrowing.
Oxytocin is a commonly used uterotonic that can cause significant and even fatal hypotension, particularly when given as a bolus. The resulting hypotension can be produced by a decrease in systemic vascular resistance or cardiac output through a decrease in venous return.
Now we find out stress actually can alter your genes, and that can set off a series of reactions that end up interfering with oxytocin â the stress-busting, love, sex and bonding hormone. 1. Meditate 10 minutes twice a day (morning and evening), every day, no excuses.
