Right ventricular strain impairment due to hypoxia in patients with COPD: a post hoc analysis of two randomised controlled trials
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.

Sex differences in the associations between right heart structure and peak exercise capacity parameters in amateur cyclists
If so, a larger volume of blood pumped by the right ventricle could translate into a relatively higher vascular resistance within the pulmonary circulation. Consequently, the afterload on the RV might ...
