Summary of disease scenarios simulated in this study
| Disease Scenario | Description | Modeling Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Normotensive | Typical pulmonary vasculature |
|
| Case a: Lesions only | Mechanical obstructions due to ring- and web-like lesions |
|
| Case b: Lesions with local remodeling | Increased vascular stiffness, narrowing of vessels distal to lesions, and increased PVR |
|
| Case c: Lesions with global small vessel arteriopathy | Narrowing, stiffening, and increased resistance in all small vessels |
|
| Case d: Lesions with proximal remodeling and small vessel arteriopathy | Narrowing and stiffening of small vessels, dilation and stiffening of large proximal vessels, and increased PVR |
|
PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance.
