Muscle metaboreflex may sustain pulmonary pressure rises independent of output in health; leaves open relevance to patient exercise intolerance.
Does sustained activation of the muscle metaboreflex via postexercise circulatory occlusion alter pulmonary hemodynamics in healthy subjects?
Sympathoexcitation induced by isometric exercise affects the pulmonary circulation, suggesting a mechanism for abnormal pulmonary hemodynamic responses and exercise intolerance in cardiopulmonary patients.
Lykidis et al. (2007) studied this question.
