To review the genesis of these concepts, the unique characteristics of the pulmonary artery and right ventricle are outlined as a basis for understanding why differences in their pulsatile properties from the systemic circuit must exist. The pulmonary impedance spectrum is introduced and the concept of optimal right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling is explored based on a review of extensive experimental data. Finally, available studies of normal pulmonary impedance in man and abnormal impedance in human disease states are reviewed, with emphasis on disturbances in optimal ventricular-vascular coupling. The important implications of these concepts for understanding and treatment of cardiovascular disease are developed.
