A 65-year-old man with emphysema due to 34 years of cigarette smoking is admitted to hospital due to dyspnea. With further tests the mean pulmonary arterial pressure is determined to be 45 mm Hg at rest. He is hypoxic (PO2 = 49 mm Hg), hypercapnic (85 mm Hg), and slightly acidotic. The cardiovascular and oxygen changes are due to which of the following?
