Arterial and venous hyperemia represent two distinct forms of increased blood
flow to tissues, each with different underlying mechanisms and physiological
implications. Arterial hyperemia refers to an increase in blood flow due to vasodilation
of arterioles, while venous hyperemia is caused by impaired venous return and venous
congestion. Both forms of hyperemia are important in understanding various
cardiovascular conditions, including inflammation, ischemia, and organ perfusion.
This article explores the mechanisms behind arterial and venous hyperemia and their
clinical relevance.
