Use of Noninvasive Gas Exchange to Track Pulmonary Vascular Responses to Exercise in Heart Failure
We determined whether a non-invasive gas exchange based estimate of pulmonary vascular (PV) capacitance [PVCAP = stroke volume (SV) × pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa)] (GXCAP) tracked the PV response to exercise in heart-failure (HF) patients. Pulmonary wedge pressure (Ppw), Ppa, PV resistance (PVR...
