Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Heart Failure.

Cardiopulmonary Interactions in Heart Failure. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2015 Nov 19; Authors: Bronicki RA Abstract Cardiopulmonary interactions are present but inconsequential in humans with normal cardiac and respiratory function; however, in the presence of significant impairment in either system, the importance of the interplay between cardiovascular and pulmonary systems cannot be overstated. This review will discuss the physiologic underpinnings and consequences of these interactions in patients with heart failure. PMID: 26585038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
