Abstract
The goal of the cardiopulmonary system is to supply oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues while eliminating carbon dioxide, and the heart and lung work closely together to achieve these ends. Because the heart and lung share volume and pressures within the thorax, each system tends to alter the other, especially when there is preexisting heart or lung disease, or when challenged by rising demand. Cardiopulmonary interactions are mediated by changes in pleural pressure (Ppl), lung volume, and gas exchange, all explored in the sections to follow.
