Pulmonary artery blood flow velocity was measured in 15 dogs by a recently developed direct intraluminal pulsed Doppler technique. Changes in velocity characteristics under conditions of experimentally induced hypoxic pulmonary hypertension were observed. Experimental conditions (fractional inspired oxygen concentration = 0.10) produced significant increases in mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance. Overall and maximal negative velocity increased with pulmonary hypertension. Negative velocity occurred predominantly in the posterior half of the pulmonary artery during both control and experimental conditions. With pulmonary hypertension, diastolic negative velocity increased only in the posterior half of the pulmonary artery and systolic negative velocity decreased only in the anterior half. More basic knowledge of pulmonary artery blood flow characteristics may facilitate an informed approach to noninvasive detection of pulmonary hypertension. Direct measurements by this recently developed intraluminal technique will be useful in studying various conditions with altered pulmonary blood flow.
