It's realistically decreasing your preload because of the positive pressure it generates, not necessarily a bad thing. The word "seems" is super suspect, makes me think they don't have enough data to actually have a finding on it. I'd wait for the followup study before passing it any mind.

Reply to comment by InfamousAmerican in I just learned that the known shortest DNA in an “organism” is about 1700 base pairs in a certain virus. Is there a minimum amount of “code” required for an organism (or virus) to function in any capacity? by mcbergstedt
Viruses don't have a metabolism. Generally speaking, using energy is part of being alive. Also, a virus doesn't replicate its own DNA. It co-opts the replication mechanisms of a host cell and forces the cell to do the replication.

Well, there's that. But also, it's talking about a compound we see rise in patients that are on ventilators. Both ventilators and CPAP machines are positive pressure devices, so seeing the body respond similarly isn't that surprising.
