Due to the heart's position, the left lung is slightly smaller compared to the right lung. Your rib cage protects the heart. What is the function of the heart? The main function of the heart is to transport blood throughout the body. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells ...
Open-heart surgery patients (n=107, 68 yrs, 80% male) performed spirometry both before surgery and on the second postoperative day. The factors influencing postoperative lung volumes and decrease in lung volumes were investigated with univariate and multivariate analyses. Associations between pain (...

Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to assess the associations of lung function with insulin resistance and Type2 diabetes. Methods We did a cross-sectional study of 3911 women who were 60 to 79 years old from 23 British towns, assessing the association of measures of lung function wit...
pulmonary circulation, system ofbloodvesselsthat forms a closed circuit between theheartand thelungs, as distinguished from the systemic circulation between the heart and all other body tissues. On the evolutionary cycle, pulmonary circulation first occurs inlungfishesandamphibians, the first animals to...
Recurrentlunginfections Inability toexercise Symptoms of Heart Muscle Disease Many people with heart muscle disease, orcardiomyopathy, have no symptoms or only minor symptoms, and live a normal life. Other people develop symptoms, which progress and worsen as heart function worsens. ...
Heart failure (HF) after myocardial infarction (MI) is a prevalent disease with a poor prognosis. Relieving pathological cardiac remodeling and preserving cardiac function is a critical link in the treatment of post-MI HF. Thus, more new therapeutic targ
The association between lung function and cardiac markers and heart failure (HF) has been little studied in the general older population. We have examined the association between lung function and airway obstruction with cardiac markers N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac...
