Hypothesis-generating for adaptive protection against edema in chronic HF; human studies needed before clinical relevance.
Pulmonary adaptation to chronic heart failure involves vascular and alveolar remodeling that reduces capillary filtration, potentially mediating resistance to pulmonary edema.
Wen‐Yi Huang (2001) studied this question.
