Fig. 2 — Parallel cascade of events following hemodynamics conditions variations. Connections between nodes are expressed by an oriented link in the graph, where $A \to B$ represents a direct influence of node A on node B. If A induces an increase of B, the corresponding linkage is indexed with a plus sign. Alternatively, if A induces a reduction of B, the corresponding linkage is negative (Garbey and Berceli 2013)
