It has been known for more than 60 years, and suspected for over 100, that alveolar hypoxia
causes pulmonary vasoconstriction by means of mechanisms local to the lung. For the last …

The pulmonary circulation differs from the systemic in several important aspects, the most
important being that pulmonary arteries constrict to moderate physiological (∼ 20–60 mmHg …

Hypoxia causes constriction in small pulmonary arteries and dilatation in systemic arteries.
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is an important mechanism by which pulmonary …

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) matches lung perfusion with ventilation which
tends to optimize pulmonary gas exchange. Investigations using genetically engineered …

Despite extensive studies over many years, there is still no real consensus regarding the
mechanisms responsible for hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). This is partially …

Abstract Swenson, Erik R. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. High Alt Med Biol 14: 101–

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), also known as the von Euler–Liljestrand
mechanism, is a physiological response to alveolar hypoxia which distributes pulmonary …

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) in combination with hypercapnic pulmonary
vasoconstriction redistributes pulmonary blood flow from poorly aerated to better ventilated …

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV), also known as the von Euler–Liljestrand
mechanism, is an essential response of the pulmonary vasculature to acute and sustained …

HPV supports ventilation–perfusion matching in the lung by diverting blood flow away from
oxygen-deprived areas towards regions rich in O 2. However, in diseases such as …
