The influence of pulmonary vascular pressures on lung diffusing capacity during incremental exercise in healthy aging
Alveolar‐capillary surface area for pulmonary gas exchange falls with aging, causing a reduction in lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). However, during exercise additional factors may influence DLCO, including pulmonary blood flow and pulmonary vascular pressures. First, we sought to...
