Excerpt

In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) increased pressure and resistance in the pulmonary vascular bed cause right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy with increased myocardial oxygen demand. Studies in animals with RV hypertrophy demonstrated maintained resting but reduced stress perfusion and coronary perfusion reserve, which may contribute to RV failure. …
