| Summary: | Radionuclide assessment of pulmonary hemodynamics was performed in 45 children with congenital heart valve pathology and increased pulmonary blood flow. Radionuclide angiopulmonography was performed at rest and during acute pharmacological tests, before and after valve surgery. Basal and enalapril-stimulated plasma concentrations of stable NO metabolites (nitrite and nitrate anions) were measured. Radionuclide bolus speed dynamics after vasodilatator (niphedipine, enalapril) administration demonstrated pulmonary circulation reserve. Plasma levels of NO metabolites were used in erectile dysfunction verification. |
