Circulatory Collapse - Effects

Effects

The effects of a circulatory collapse vary based on the type of collapse it is. Peripheral collapses usually involve abnormally low blood pressure and result in collapsed arteries and/or veins, leading to oxygen deprivation to tissues, organs, and limbs.

Acute collapse can result from heart failure and causes the collapse of the primary vessels of the heart collapsing, perhaps combined with cardiac arrest.

Famous quotes containing the word effects:

    “Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
    —Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    “I am fearful that the paper system ... will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere ... I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
