16
Q

The term used to describe the process of adaptation and failure of the right heart as a result of long disease?

A

Cor pulmonale

17
Q

How do diseases such as COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis lead to right ventricular failure?

24
Q

Investigations in extrinsic allergic alveolitis?

A

25
Q

How does TLCO increase in pulmonary haemorrhage?

A
