Pulmonology

uneven matching of alveolar ventilation to capillary blood flow across lung units, measured as a distribution of ratios, and a main cause of impaired gas exchange.

In pulmonology, ventilation-perfusion mismatch refers to uneven matching of alveolar ventilation to capillary blood flow across lung units, measured as a distribution of ratios, and a main cause of impaired gas exchange. This meaning comes from Wagner (1974) in Journal of Clinical Investigation.[1]
