I wonder if we could also include the fact that hemodynamics plays the great part in the erection mechanism of the penis and is subject of its in-depth study.

[edit] Merge proposal

I have proposed that Haemodynamic response be merged into this article. Haemodynamic response seems to cover one aspect of haemodynamics, specific to the brain. I don't think it contains enough information to warrant a separate article. However, if there is a completely different medical context in which the term "haemodynamic response" is used, please explain below. Otherwise, if there are no other serious objections, then I'll effect the merger within a week. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 00:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. The Haemodynamic response (function) is an important concept in functional brain imaging and, I believe, important enough and distinct enough in that context to warrant an independent article. Perhaps to emphasize this point the other article should be actually be renamed "Haemodynamic response function" and re-written to better describe the role of the Haemodynamic response in neruoimaging. I do agree that the article there is not particularly detailed, but that is not a good reason to merge them. I think a pointer from this article to that one would be better. My main reason for this belief, is that this article is primarily about the heart and circulation whereas the other article should be primarily about how a particular aspect of haemodynamics related to imaging. 128.200.46.67 (talk) 23:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
