Chronic heart failure (HF) is a complex multiorgan syndrome characterized by
pathophysiological changes in cardiac, vascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, and …

Heart failure (HF) is a complex and multifaceted disease. The disease affects multiple organ
systems, including the respiratory system. This review provides three unique examples …

Patients with heart failure (HF) display numerous derangements in ventilatory function,
which together serve to increase the work of breathing (W b) during exercise. However, the …

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is the most prevalent form
of heart failure in outpatients. Yet, the pathophysiology of this syndrome is unclear and …

The heart and lungs are intimately related anatomically and physiologically because they
share the enclosed thoracic cavity, are exposed to similar intrathoracic pressures, have a …

The lungs are the primary organs affected in LHD (left heart disease). Increased left atrial
pressure leads to pulmonary alveolar–capillary stress failure, resulting in cycles of alveolar …

背景射血分数保留的心力衰竭(HFpEF) 是门诊最常见的心力衰竭(心衰) 形式,
但该综合征的病理生理机制仍不清楚, 药物治疗不能改善预后. 因为气短是HFpEF …

Whether the specific blood transfer conductance for nitric oxide (NO) with hemoglobin (θ
NO) is finite or infinite is controversial but important in the calculation of alveolar capillary …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body
position, pulmonary function (PF) and bronchial blood flow (Qaw) in a group of heart failure …

Aim The lungs—and particularly the alveolar‐capillary membrane—may be sensitive to
continuous flow (CF) and pulmonary pressure alterations in heart failure (HF). We aimed to …
