Serum Cytokines in Young Pediatric Patients with Congenital Cardiac Shunts and Altered Pulmonary Hemodynamics

Figure 2

Serum concentration of inflammatory mediators (pixel density of chemiluminescence signal) at different levels of pulmonary blood flow (, velocity-time integral of blood flow in pulmonary veins, echocardiographic assessment, ) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR/SVR, pulmonary-to-systemic vascular resistance ratio, cardiac catheterization, ). IL-16: interleukin 16; MIF: macrophage migration inhibitory factor; IP-10: interferon gamma-induced protein-1.
