Lung microvascular rarefaction impairs pulmonary gas exchange and exacerbates heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Ceren Koçana, Lara Jaeschke, Alexandra Maria Chitroceanu, Qi Zhang, Niklas Hegemann, Pengchao Sang, Q. Li, Mariya M. Kucherenko, Kristin Kräker, K. Franz, Alexandr Melnikov, David Faidel, Leonardo A. von der Ohe, Paul-Lennard Perret, Jonathan L. Gillan, , Wolfgang Michael Kuebler

This study identifies pulmonary microvascular rarefaction as a novel mechanism in heart failure, linking it to impaired gas exchange and worsened cardiac function.
