| Popis: | The relationship between restriction of the pulmonary capillary bed, pulmonary hypertension, and diffusion insufficiency for oxygen has not been appreciated previously. Studies are presented which demonstrate that in all patients who develop pulmonary hypertension on the basis of restriction of the pulmonary capillary bed, a diffusion insufficiency for oxygen coexists, because of an inadequate alveolar-capillary contact time. This integral relationship between diffusion insufficiency and basic pulmonary hemodynamic events has both diagnostic and therapeutic implications for the cardiologist. |
