so pulmonary hypertension is elevated blood pressure in the lung vasculature,” Dr. Rose-Jones explained. “So it’s different than regular systemic hypertension, where the pressure is elevated ...

This pressure is transmitted to the pulmonary veins, the pulmonary vasculature, and eventually to the right side of the heart. This transmitted pressure is responsible for nearly all of the ...

Although the mechanism for the reduction in Vc cannot be determined from these data, passive relocation of blood to the periphery as the result of gravity can be discounted, suggesting that active ...
