Splenic Blood Flow Increases after Hypothermic Stimulus (Cold Pressor Test): A Perfusion Magnetic Resonance Study

Table 1

Main population parameters concerning age, gender, Body Mass Index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart beat, Rate Pressure Product, splenic blood flow (SBF), arterial blood pool (ABP), and myocardial blood flow (MBF). All the results are presented at rest and after CPT.
