The analysis of data obtained for 101 bronchial asthma (BA) sufferers with hypertension and 30 normotensive patients demonstrated the dependence of arterial hypertension in BA patients on a significant increase in the systemic peripheral resistance, pulmonary circulation pressure, diastolic dysfunction, reduced cardiac output, pulse brain filling as well as on elevated serotonin level and monoamine oxidase hyperactivity. The findings provided additional information on the causes and triggering mechanisms of arterial hypertension in BA patients, are helpful in design of antihypertensive treatment and the disease prevention.

Understanding the dynamic pathophysiology of diseases in the lung, such as asthma and chronic asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, is crucial for the treatment, analysis, and outcome of these diseases. Unlike other traditional models, we suggest a protocol that is sustainable and reproducible and offers different analysis methods while maintaining in vivo lung architecture and immune dynamics. This protocol allows one to study the pathophysiological changes, including changes to the immune cells, cytokines, and mediators, in 30 precision-cut lung slices from a single murine lung.
