The relationship between endothelial progenitor cells and pulmonary arterial hypertension in children with congenital heart disease
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) caused by congenital heart disease (CHD) is very common in clinics. Some studies have shown that PAH is related to the number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), but there is no report on the relationship between PAH and the number of EPC...
