Arterial Elastance is the Dungeons and Dragons of hemodynamics @maxhockstein.bsky.social @khaycock.bsky.social

I remind anyone that will (perhaps some that won't) listen that LaPlace had it right...T = p*r/2*t. Works for smooth vascular muscle and the heart.

Want to learn about VA coupling? (I promise only mild-mod use of calculus.) Do you like Montreal, specifically on May 22-23, 2025? Check out the H&R Conference!
