Why the study?
Does an expanded pulmonary lymph system alter right duct lymph flow and survival following acute elevation of left atrial pressure in dogs?
Does an expanded pulmonary lymph system alter right duct lymph flow and survival following acute elevation of left atrial pressure in dogs?
An expanded pulmonary lymph system in experimental mild heart failure may serve as an important compensatory mechanism against fulminating pulmonary edema during acute left atrial pressure elevation.

Indicates lymphatic expansion as potential compensation in mild failure; leaves open translation to human pulmonary edema.
Uhley et al. (1967) studied this question.
