EFFECTS OF PULMONARY HYPERTENSION ON PULMONARY FUNCTION
Abnormalities of pulmonary function in patients with pulmonary vascular disease are usually a consequence of the underlying lung disease rather than an intrinsic effect of the pulmonary vascular disease. An exception is the decreased diffusing capacity due to capillary obliteration. In addition, pulmonary vascular occlusion and obliteration cause shunt and ventilation-perfusion inequality by undefined mechanisms. The resulting hypoxemia is further exaggerated by the associated reduction of cardiac output and low mixed venous Po2.
