Why might a patient with sickle cell disease become short of breath and suffer from chest pain?
◦ These patients are more susceptible to MI.
◦ Blood vessels can dilate, causing diminished blood pressure and hypoxia.
◦ Blood vessels in the lungs can become blocked and oxygen exchange diminished.
◦ The alveoli in the lungs burst, reducing the amount of oxygen that can be exchanged.
