The impact of one ventricle on the adjacent ventricle plays a key role in cardiac function.
Ventricular-ventricular interactions are based on the arrangement in-series of the circulation …

The heart and lungs are anatomically coupled through the pulmonary circulation and coexist
within the sealed thoracic cavity, making the function of these systems highly …

It is unknown whether central hemodynamics are impaired during exercise in chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We hypothesized that, at a similar absolute …

Dynamic hyperinflation (DH) is common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is
associated with dyspnea and exercise intolerance. DH also has adverse cardiac effects …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? The study aimed to establish a
novel model to study the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)‐related …

Augmented negative intrathoracic pressures (nITP) and dynamic hyperinflation (DH) are
adverse breathing mechanics (ABM) associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Respiration is accomplished by alterations in intrathoracic pressure (ITP) and has
physiological implications on the heart. For example, the negative ITP during inspiration is …

The heart and lungs are anatomically coupled through the pulmonary circulation and coexist
49 within the sealed thoracic cavity, making the function of these systems highly …

Cervical spinal cord injury (C-SCI) is a devastating condition that leads to significant
impairments in both the cardiovascular and respiratory response to aerobic exercise. As the …
