The function of the hypertrophic right ventricle (RV) was studied in adult rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension induced by intermittent high-altitude (IHA) exposure. The isolated RV working heart preparation that was employed enabled us to estimate ventricular contractile and pump performance un
In patients with sickle cell disease, anemia is a recognized risk factor for stroke, death, and the development of pulmonary hypertension. We have proposed that hemolytic anemia results in endothelial dysfunction and vascular instability and can ultimately lead to a proliferative vasculopathy leadin
