Pulmonary vascular volume, impaired left ventricular filling and dyspnea: The MESA Lung Study.

Pulmonary vascular volume, impaired left ventricular filling and dyspnea: The MESA Lung Study.

<h4>Background</h4>Evaluation of impaired left ventricular (LV) filling has focused on intrinsic causes of LV dysfunction; however, pulmonary vascular changes may contribute to reduced LV filling and dyspnea. We hypothesized that lower total pulmonary vascular volume (TPVV) on computed t...
