Pathway imbalance results in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Each pathway has ligands and modulators influencing this balance. How these pathways differ in pediatric PH patients is unknown. Ten PH and 20 control subjects (ages 2-17 years) were prospectively enrolled. Pulmonary artery serum BMP 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, activin A, TGF-β1, carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interating protein (CHIP), NT Pro BNP, and CRP were measured by ELISA. Analyses were made using the Fisher's exact test, the Mann-Whitney test, ROC analysis, and Pearson and Spearman correlations as appropriate. PH subjects were group 1 (four with simple shunts) or group 3 PH. Control subjects had shunts scheduled for catheter closure but no PH.

This was a prospective cohort study of adult incident PAH patients who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at baseline and following 6 months. Study subjects recorded HRV using wearable chest actigraphy devices for at least 1 h every 2 weeks.
