| Description | Some biomarkers play important roles in the endothelial dysfunction of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), including nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1 (ET-1), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), galectin-3 (Gal-5), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and uric acid. |

| Objective | This study aimed at selecting effective biomarkers that could be used to assess the severity of CHD–PAH in patients and investigating the effect of iloprost at the level of biomarkers. |
| p Value | <0.01 |
| Conclusion | A significant positive linear relationship was observed between mPAP and plasma ET-1, BNP, ADMA, and uric acid levels in all patients with CHD-PAH. ET-2, ADMA, BNP, and UA levels had a significant linear relationship with mean pulmonary arterial pressure, which could be used to predict the severity of CHD-PAH. |
