The Paradox of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance: Restoration of Pulmonary Capillary Recruitment as a \u3ci\u3eSine Qua Non\u3c/i\u3e for True Therapeutic Success in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension [PDF]
, 2022Exercise-induced increases in pulmonary blood flow normally increase pulmonary arterial pressure only minimally, largely due to a reserve of pulmonary capillaries that are available for recruitment to carry the flow.
