Abstract

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication of congenital heart defects (CHD) with left-to-right shunt, such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Persistent shunting induces pulmonary  vascular remodeling, endothelial dysfunction,
