Pulmonary vascular resistance increases with an increase in altitude owing to pulmonary vasoconstriction caused by hypoxia.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] When persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) occurs, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is high, resulting in right-to-left shunting of blood through the patent ductus arteriosis and foramen ovale.
The disease is characterized by a pulmonary vasculopathy that progressively increases the pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to premature death due to right ventricular failure.
