| Application | prognosis |
| Objective | To assess endothelial dysfunction and the risk for coronary atherosclerosis in children with irreversible pulmonary hypertension due to CHD. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Systemic endothelial dysfunction in children with irreversible pulmonary hypertension due to CHD was noted but there was no increased risk for atherosclerosis. |
