Forms of Pulmonary Hypertension
Forms of Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Hypertension exists in two forms, Passive and Reactive.
Mitral Stenosis Collateral Channels
Mitral Stenosis Collateral Channels
In Mitral Stenosis, high pulmonary venous pressures can cause collateral channels to open between pulmonary and bronchial veins.
Chronic pressure overload outcome
Chronic pressure overload outcome
In Mitral Stenosis, chronic pressure overload of the left atrium leads to atrial enlargement.
