Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction does not contribute to pulmonary blood flow heterogeneity in normoxia in normal supine humans
TJ Arai, AC Henderson, DJ Dubowitz… - Journal of applied …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
We hypothesized that some of the heterogeneity of pulmonary blood flow present in the
normal human lung in normoxia is due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). If so …

Exercise presents a considerable stress to the pulmonary system and ventilation-perfusion
(V̇a/Q̇) heterogeneity increases with exercise, affecting the efficiency of gas exchange. In …

Characterizing pulmonary blood flow distribution measured using arterial spin labeling
AC Henderson, GK Prisk, DL Levin… - NMR in Biomedicine …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The arterial spin labeling (ASL) method provides images in which, ideally, the signal
intensity of each image voxel is proportional to the local perfusion. For studies of pulmonary …

Species-specific pulmonary arterial asymmetry determines species differences in regional pulmonary perfusion
The functional significance of differences in pulmonary vascular branching and diameter
asymmetry between the human and quadruped lung has not previously been addressed. To …
