Pathophysiological aspects of cardiopulmonary interaction

F J Meyer et al. Clin Nephrol. 2003 Jul.

Abstract

The close interaction between heart and lungs has pathophysiological and clinical implications both in cardiac and pulmonary diseases. Some aspects of ventriculo-ventricular relations are illustrated using examples of left heart failure and right heart failure or cor pulmonale. This interaction is mediated either by pulmonary vasculature or directly through interventricular septum. Furthermore, effects of chronic congestive heart failure on pulmonary function and their clinical consequences are discussed.
