Differential reactivity in the pulmonary circulation.
A new method for relating regional intravascular resistance to pulmonary arterial, capillary, and venous pressure and volume was used to evaluate local differences of reactivity in the pulmonary blood vessels in the isolated lung lobe of the dog. Intravascular infusion of isoproterenol caused active dilatation of pulmonary arteries and veins. Capillary conductance (1/resistance) and volume incr...
متن کاملDiabetes and the pulmonary circulation.
DIABETES IS AN EPIDEMIC in the United States, affecting 8% of the population. The hallmark of diabetes is hyperglycemia due to either insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. Systemic vascular dysfunction is a central part of the pathophysiology of both type I insulin-dependent and type II non-insulin-dependent diabetes and involves both the microand macrocirculation (11). Coronary heart disea...
متن کاملFulvine and the pulmonary circulation.
The pyrrolizidine alkaloid, fulvine, is now accepted as a major cause of veno-occlusive disease of the liver in the West Indies, where it is ingested as a decoction of the plant Crotalaria fulva in bush tea. Fulvine is similar in chemical structure to monocrotaline, which is known to cause pulmonary hypertension in rats. Thirty young female rats were given a single dose of fulvine either by int...
متن کاملEvolution and the pulmonary circulation.
We were sitting, I recall, in the canteen of the Medical School at Birmingham. It must have been 1958. I had just returned from a year and a half at the Bellevue Hospital, New York, my mind still reeling from the experience of working in the cardiopulmonary laboratory of Andre Cournand. Donald Heath had returned from the Mayo Clinic where he had coolly reshaped the face of pulmonary vascular pa...
متن کاملRegulation of the pulmonary circulation.
Factors regulating pressure and flow in the lungs are reviewed with particular emphasis on their role in regulating blood flow velocity and distribution within the lung capillaries. The behaviour of the pulmonary arterial, system, alveolar capillaries, and pulmonary venous system are considered individually. The effect of heart disease on lung capillary blood flow is examined.
