Higher oxygen extraction during control and no response of oxygen extraction of the hypertrophied right ventricle in response to stimuli which increase right ventricular oxygen consumption indicate that oxygen supply to the hypertrophic right ventricle is different from that of the normal right ventricle, and is more like that of the left ventricle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
