| Factor | nitric oxide (NO) |
| Description | But NO levels in non-PH group were significantly increased (P<0. 05). Plasma ADM levels in CHD were positively correlated with PASP and ET-1(r=0. 77, P~0.01 ; r=0.82, P<0.01), negatively correlated with NO (r=--0. 56, P<0.05). |

| Objective | The changes of ADM, ET-l and NO levels before and after operation in CHD associated with PH were observed in Order to investigate their role in CHD with PH and their clinical significance. |
| p Value | <0.05 |
| Conclusion | It was concluded that during the progression of PH in the cases of CHD, plasma ADM, ET-1 and NO might play an important role in the development of PH. The increased ADM may represent a compensatory mechanism. It can interact with NO and ET-1 to regulate pulmonary circulation in the pathophysiology of PH with CHD. ADM may be involved in the defence mechanism against further increase of pulmonary arterial pressure. ADM could be used as a reliable indicator of the severity of CHD associated PH. |
