Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction

Abstract: Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a homeostatic mechanism that is intrinsic to the pulmonary vasculature. Intrapulmonary arteries constrict in response to alveolar hypoxia, diverting blood to better-oxygenated lung segments, thereby optimizing ventilation/perfusion matching and systemic oxygen delivery. In response to alveolar hypoxia, a mitochondrial sensor dynamically changes reactive oxygen species and redox couples in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). This inhibits potassium channels,… Show more

“…Poor oxygen supply was a common problem in COPD patients, especially those suffering from acute exacerbations. First, hypoxia caused pulmonary vasoconstriction, 23 which formed pulmonary hypertension, resulting in a right ventricular pressure overload. A study found that NT-proBNP was positively associated with pulmonary arterial pressure.…”

“…This mismatch results in compensatory hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, leading to an inadequate filling of the left atrium. Consequent on this, a decreased left atrial stretch and increased ADH secretion occur (5,10).…”

“…RV hypertrophy, presumably resulting from hypoxia induced pulmonary vasoconstriction24 leading to persistent pulmonary hypertension, continued into adulthood ( Figure  3). It is well established that hypoxia exposure in the absence of inflammatory lung disease in neonatal rats rapidly leads to RV hypertrophy 15, 25.…”
