Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is heterogeneously distributed in the prone dog

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is thought to protect gas exchange by decreasing perfusion to hypoxic regions. However, with global hypoxia, non-uniformity in HPV may cause over-perfusion to some regions, leading to high-altitude pulmonary edema. To quantify the spatial distribution of HPV...
