Pulmonary vascular wall stiffness: An important contributor to the increased right ventricular afterload with pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with structural and mechanical changes in the pulmonary vascular bed that increase right ventricular (RV) afterload. These changes, characterized by narrowing and stiffening, occur in both proximal and distal pulmonary arteries (PAs). An important consequenc...
