In official medicine, it’s nowhere said that uncontrolled leakage of arterial blood through arteriovenous anastomoses (AVA) is very dangerous for human health. The purpose of AVA, apparently, is the regulation of heat exchange of the human body, limiting the maximum blood pressure, regulating the flow of arterial and venous blood by opening a direct communication between the arterial and venous basins. Because of the high pressure difference between the basins (an average of about 50-60 mmHg or 680-820 mm H2O), the blood flows intensively from the arteries to the veins. Depending on stress and charges, the AVA lumen may change, i.e., AVA periodically can be in both open and closed positions. The very presence of AVA of different calibers in the cardiovascular system of man is not denied by anyone, but no one has studied in details the effect of AVA on blood circulation in various organs of man. At least until 2011.
