Abstract:Background.
A pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) >18 mm Hg following volume load has been proposed as a partition value for the detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. As hemodynamic changes in filling pressures (FP) have been attributed to a nitric oxide (NO)-mediated rightward shift of the pressure-volume relationship, we investigated the hemodynamic response to volume load in heart transplant recipients (HTx) and examined the role of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) gene expression o… Show more
