Muscle metaboreflex activation may increase pulmonary artery pressure independently of cardiac output; leaves open its role in exercise intolerance among cardiopulmonary patients.
Does sustained activation of the muscle metaboreflex via isometric exercise and circulatory occlusion alter pulmonary hemodynamics in healthy subjects?
Sympathoexcitation from muscle metaboreflex activation increases pulmonary artery pressure independently of cardiac output, highlighting a potential mechanism for exercise intolerance in cardiopulmonary disease.
Lykidis et al. (2007) studied this question.
