Vasodilation typically leads to a decrease in blood pressure. When blood vessels enlarge, the resistance to blood flow decreases, allowing blood to move more freely. This reduced resistance means that the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood through the vessels, which can lower overall blood pressure. In summary, vasodilation results in a widening of blood vessels that generally causes a reduction in blood pressure.
Vasodilation is when your blood vessels get larger to allow more blood to pass through. What is the effect of vasodilation on your blood pressure?
