“…541 Past reports suggest that the degree of PH is usually not severe and that PH has been most commonly reported in adults with end-stage lung disease. 542 However, PH may still contribute to decreased exercise tolerance and quality of life in the setting of advanced cystic fibrosis.…”

“…This prevalence of PH is higher than previously reported by other investigators (between 21% and 59%) who mainly used echocardiography to estimate systolic PAP. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] This discrepancy is most likely due to different degrees of disease severity and methods for PAP measurement among the studies. 12,15,17,19 The occurrence of PH in CF has been linked to development of hypoxemia and progressive destruction of the lung parenchyma and the corresponding capillary bed.…”

“…Pulmonary hypertension is seen in humans with cystic fibrosis; however, this condition has most often been attributed to the destructive lung disease and the subsequent loss of pulmonary capillaries and/or hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (11,34). The results presented here suggest that a defect in ATP release from erythrocytes of cystic fibrosis patients as they traverse the pulmonary circulation could be an additional factor leading to the development of pulmonary hypertension in these individuals.…”
