BACKGROUND: Exercise can distend the normally compliant, thin-walled pulmonary vessels. Loss of distensibility has been suggested as an early marker of pulmonary vascular remodeling. We hypothesized that in mild pulmonary vascular disease (PVD), a reduction in vascular distensibility during exercise occurs prior to the development of overt resting pulmonary hypertension (PH).METHODS: Distensibility a during exercise (percentage change in vessel diameter per mm Hg increase in transmural pressure) was estimated in 90 subjects using a model of the pulmonary circulation and invasive hemodynamic data. Distensible properties in mild PVD without resting PH (PVD-noPH) (n = 33) were compared with control subjects (n = 26) and PVD with overt resting PH (PVD-PH) (n = 31).RESULTS: Resting mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPpa) levels were 14 +/- 4, 20 +/- 3, and 34 +/- 10 mm Hg with corresponding exercise mPpa-cardiac output slopes of 1.5 +/- 0.6, 3.5 +/- 0.9, and 5.7 +/- 3.2 mm Hg/L/min for control subjects and the PVD-noPH and PVD-PH groups, respectively. The distensible model produced high accuracy and precision with no mean bias and 95% limits of agreement of -4.5 to 4.5 mm Hg between calculated and measured mPpa. Distensibility alpha was lowest in the PVD-PH group, intermediate in the PVD-noPH group, and highest in control subjects (0.25 +/- 0.14%/mm Hg vs 0.45 +/- 0.24%/mm Hg vs 1.40 +/- 0.45%/ mm Hg, P
