Abstract

To elucidate the pathophysiologic significance of adrenomedullin in pulmonary hypertension, we measured plasma adrenomedullin-like immunoreactivity (AM-LI) concentrations in blood samples obtained from various sites during cardiac catheterization by using radioimmunoassay in patients with pulmonary hypertension in comparison with patients without pulmonary hypertension. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, plasma AM-LI concentrations were significantly elevated and there was a significant uptake of AM-LI in pulmonary circulation, indicating the involvement of adrenomedullin in the cardiovascular regulation of pulmonary circulation in pulmonary hypertension.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
