Endotheliitis, Shunts, and Ventilation–Perfusion Mismatch in Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Literature Review of Disease Mechanisms - ScienceDirect
Emedicodiary - The ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) ratio is an indication of how well alveolar ventilation matches pulmonary capillary perfusion. A healthy V/Q for the entire lung is 0.8. Due to gravitational forces, the
