Role of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in pulmonary gas exchange and blood flow distribution. 2. Pathophysiology

In this review, the second of a two part series, the analytic techniques introduced in the first part are applied to a broad range of pulmonary pathophysiologic conditions. The contributions of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction to both homeostasis and pathophysiology are quantitated for atelectasis...
