From: Loss of alveolar membrane diffusing capacity and pulmonary capillary blood volume in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Figure 1

Lung diffusion capacity and its components over time in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Lung diffusing capacity for NO (DLNO) and the alveolar-capillary membrane diffusing capacity (Dm) decreases over time (both pā€‰=ā€‰0.01). Lung capillary blood volume (Vc) tends to increase over time (pā€‰=ā€‰0.07). Conversely, DLCO did not change significantly (pā€‰=ā€‰0.7).
