We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of all articles quantifying an optimum flow-diameter exponent for mammalian coronary arteries within the Cochrane library, PubMed Medline, Scopus, and Embase databases on 20 March 2023. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to determine a pooled flow-diameter exponent. Risk of bias was assessed with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) quality assessment tool, funnel plots, and Egger regression. From a total of 4,772 articles, 18 were suitable for meta-analysis.

The pooled exponent of 2.39 showed very close agreement with the theoretical exponent of 2.33 (7/3) reported by Kassab and colleagues.

Therefore, understanding the physiological changes in the cardiovascular system during normal pregnancy is necessary to understand disease-related pathology. Significant systemic and cardiovascular physiological changes occur during pregnancy that are essential for supporting the maternal-fetal dyad. The physiological impact of pregnancy on the cardiovascular system has been examined in both experimental animal models and in humans. However, there is a continued need in this field of study to provide increased rigor and reproducibility. Therefore, these guidelines aim to provide information regarding best practices and recommendations to accurately and rigorously measure cardiovascular physiology during normal and cardiovascular disease-complicated pregnancies in human and animal models.</p>","PeriodicalId":7692,"journal":{"name":"American journal of physiology.
