چکیده
A 29-year old man presented with chronic cough. A chest X-ray revealed several faint round opacities in the right upper zone (Fig. 1a).

متن کاملEndothelin-1 has haemodynamic effects at pathophysiological concentrations in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES Plasma levels of immunoreactive endothelin-1 (ET-1) are raised in chronic heart failure. Whether plasma ET-1 contributes to the haemodynamic derangement found in chronic heart failure is not known. We investigated the effects of exogenous ET-1 on the pulmonary and systemic vasculature in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVD), with or without overt heart failure. ...
