[Changes in the systemic and regional hemodynamics, hydration and engorgement of the lungs during occlusion of the thoracic aorta].

The occlusion of the rat aorta's thoracic portion induces within 30 min hemodynamic shifts in major and minor circulation typical for a hypertensive incident. The occurring 4-5-fold increase of the lung venous pressure leads to no regular lung oedema and is of no major importance for its pathogenesis.
