Right ventricular myocardial oxygen tension is reduced in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in the rat and restored by myo-inositol trispyrophosphate
Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) initially results in compensatory right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, but eventually in RV failure. This transition is poorly understood, but may be triggered by hypoxia. Measurements of RV oxygen tension (pO2) in PH are lacking. We hypothesized that RV hypoxia o...
