factors increase the V-Q (by increasing ventilation, decreasing perfusion) and how
1- pulmonary embolism ( a blood clot block the lung vessels and reduced the blood flow while its being ventilated but reduced perfusion) > increase V-Q ratio overall.
2- COPD: patients have a high ventilation but poor perfusion due to damaged alveoli. the level of V is high>V-Q increase

Increased V/Q ratio causes?
Increased V/Q ratio causes?
Pulmonary embolism (blood clot blocking lung vessels, low perfusion, high ventilation) and COPD (damaged alveoli, high ventilation, low perfusion) both lead to a higher V/Q ratio.
