Abstract
Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication of congenital heart disease (CHD). Monitoring of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is essential during follow-up. This retrospective study aimed to examine carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) as an additional marker for evaluation by investigating the correlation between CEA levels and hemodynamics in CHD-PAH. Seventy-six patients with CHD-PAH (mean PAP [mPAP] >25 mmHg and PVR >3 Wood units, group A), 71 patients with CHD and pulmonary hypertension (CHD-PH, mPAP >25 mmHg and PVR ≤3 Wood units, group B), and 102 patients with CHD without PH (mPAP ≤25 mmHg, group C) were enrolled. Serum CEA levels and the relationships between CEA levels and hemodynamic data were assessed. Mean serum CEA levels were 1.99±1.61, 2.44±1.82, and 1.58±1.07 ng/mL, mPAP was 58.66±20.21, 30.2±4.83, and 17.31±4.51 mmHg, and PVR was 10.12±7.01, 2.19±0.56, and 2.2±1.1 Wood units in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Mean pulmonary output (PO) was 7.24±3.07, 15.79±5.49, 10.18±4.72 L/minute, respectively. CEA levels were positively correlated with PO and negatively correlated with PVR in all of the patients. CEA levels are increased with PO and decreased with PVR in...Continue Reading
