| Factor | interleukin (IL)-IL-6 |
| Description | Endothelin-1, interleukin (IL)-b, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor a, and vascular endothelial growth factor were significantly higher in CHD-APAH than CHD without APAH. |
| Biomarker | YES |

| Conclusion | Raised biomarkers for inflammation were found in CHD-APAH. Significant abnormalities in airway physiology may contribute to the dyspnea but are not driven by inflammation as assessed by circulating and sputum cytokines. A relationship between increased serum endothelin-1 and airway dysfunction may relate to its bronchoconstrictive properties. |
