Background Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to an increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and potentially right heart failure in healthy individuals and patients with respiratory diseases.

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both require elevated filling pressures to maintain cardiac output. Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific ...

In the setting of many human diseases such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, this means that right ventricular (RV) function predicts survival. Our group is interested in understanding how ...
