Abstract excerpt
Rats exposed to postnatal hyperoxia develop right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, mild pulmonary hypertension, and dysregulated cardiac mitochondrial biogenesis when aged to one year, with the degree of cardiac dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension similar to that previously described in young adults born preterm. Here, we sought to understand the impact of postnatal hyperoxia exposure on RV hemodynamic and...
