The pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains poorly understood. Vasoconstriction, although likely to be a major factor in the disease, varies between patients and studies of a variety of vasoactive substances have sometimes yielded conflicting results. Amongst these substances, alteration

Inhaled nitric oxide (NO) is currently used as an adjuvant therapy for a variety of pulmonary hypertensive disorders. In both animal and human studies, inhaled NO induces selective, dose-dependent pulmonary vasodilation. However, its potential interactions with other simultaneously used pulmonary va
Patients with moderate and severe pulmonary hypertension have a very high mortality rate when undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation. Because nitric oxide has been successful in reducing pulmonary artery pressures in certain patients with pulmonary hypertension, the efficacy of NO inhalation (4
