Abstract
The factors capable of altering pulmonary vascular resistance in man have not been entirely clarified despite numerous studies. The authors have studied this problem in an unanesthetized human and demonstrated that one mechanism altering human pulmonary vascular resistance is change in venous pulmonary intravascular distending pressures.Keywords
