Vascular Compromise and Hemodynamics in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Model Predictions

A previously validated computer model of the normal pulmonary circulation is adapted to simulate pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in humans. Model predictions are used to explore the suitability of currently accepted criteria for diagnosing PAH by correlating hemodynamic data with the degree of...
