The pulmonary vasculature has been frequently overlooked in acute and chronic lung
diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and …

Even mild pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity
in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the underlying …

Background In patients with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS), abnormal gas-transfer
and pulmonary vascular density have been reported, but such findings have not been …

Rationale and Objectives Mounting evidence supports the role of pulmonary hemodynamic
alternations in the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Previous studies have demonstrated that …

Rationale: Impaired exercise ventilatory efficiency (high ventilatory requirements for CO2 [V˙

SARS-CoV-2-infected symptomatic patients often suffer from high fever and loss of appetite
which are responsible for the deficit of fluids and of protein intake. Many patients admitted to …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent and important complication of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). It is associated with worse clinical courses with more frequent …

An increasing observation is that some patients with COVID-19 have normal lung
compliance but significant hypoxaemia different from typical acute respiratory distress …

Introduction Evidence suggests that vascular inflammation and thrombosis may be important
drivers of poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. We hypothesised that a …

In health, the near-eucapnic, highly efficient hyperpnea during mild-to-moderate intensity
