By now, there are limited therapeutic approaches satisfactory for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatment. In the present study, we established a novel rat model, repetitive and brief occlusion (RBO) of the majority of the right atrium venous blood flow in the conscious rats. Using this model, we found that the RBO treatment significantly improved the pulmonary hemodynamics with a lower pulmonary vascular resistance observed. The IK+ and big-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels were involved in the mechanism of the RBO treatment for PAH. Although the results are limited, the conclusion are solid and we believe this manuscript is valuable for all the researchers and clinical doctors who are interested in PAH.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
