Phase-resolved Functional Lung MRI Reveals Distinct Lung Perfusion Phenotype in Children and Adolescents with [LC], 2025, Pöhler+

Is it at all possible that the lung perfusion issues can cause differences in resting HR and RR? Or that they’re both just downstream of the same issue?

Just realized - you mean Respiratory Rate, not blood pressure...
I don't see how the increase in RR might be associated with perfusion. Maybe lower perfusion is compensated by increasing RR to optimize oxygenation, but that's Just speculation.
