Age‐dependent effects of thoracic and capillary blood volume distribution on pulmonary artery pressure and lung diffusing capacity

Aging is associated with pulmonary vascular remodeling and reduced distensibility. We investigated the influence of aging on changes in cardiac output (Q), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), and lung diffusing capacity in response to alterations in thoracic blood volume. The role of pulmonary sm...
