2. Fig. 1
Continuous traces of heart rate, blood pressure (systolic, mean, and diastolic), and pulmonary artery pressure (systolic, mean, and diastolic) recorded every minute. Despite treatment with NO at 20 ppm for 4 days, the patient had persistently elevated pulmonary artery pressure. A 0.3 mg/kg dose of sildenafil given at the cursor caused additional selective pulmonary vasodilation.
