in each of the inputs: the steeper the slope‚ the more sensitive the NPV is to a change in the variable.

1.6 Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the main factor in sustaining blood flow through tissues. The force applied to the arterial walls as the heart pumps blood throughout the circulatory system defines the physiological meaning of blood pressure (Bojanov‚ 2009).
