| Application | diagnosis |
| Objective | This study was designed to determine biomarker levels in patients with PAH associated with CHD (PAH–CHD) and CHD patients without PAH and to investigate the relationship of these potential biomarkers with hemodynamic findings |
| p Value | 0.007 |
| Conclusion | These parameters have the potential to be used as biomarkers in the diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of patients with PAH–CHD. |
