Furthermore‚ low pressures within the system complicate the haemodynamics. When a person stands upright‚ the hydrostatic pressure exceeds dynamic pressure impeding venous return. The action of the calf muscle pump overcomes this‚ which in turn can return the blood to the heart (Hirsch 1994). Laminar flow is also interfered with by clot formation. This promotes thrombus formation by bringing platelets into contact with
