Key result
Pulmonary venous congestion stimulates rapidly adapting lung receptors, likely mediating reflex effects of LV dysfunction.
Why the study?
The role of rapidly adapting lung receptors stimulated by extravascular fluid changes in reflexes associated with left ventricular dysfunction was not fully understood.
Design
