Pulmonary vascular capacitance as a predictor of vasoreactivity in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension tested by adenosine
Background: Acute pulmonary vasoreactivity testing has been recommended in the diagnostic work-up of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Pulmonary arteriolar capacitance (Cp) approximated by stroke volume divided by pulmonary pulse pressure (SV/PP) is considered as an in...
