Hyperoxia exposure induces PH.

Notes: Representative PWD Echo recording of PA blood flow obtained at 14 days of age from neonatal mice exposed to air (A) or hyperoxia (B). PAT (C) and PAT/ET ratio (D) were estimated from the PWD Echo recordings of the PA blood flow. Values are mean ± SD from four individual animals in each group from one experiment. Significant differences between air and hyperoxia groups are indicated by *P<0.05.

Abbreviations: PWD, pulsed-wave Doppler; Echo, echocardiography; PA, pulmonary artery; PAT, pulmonary acceleration time; ET, ejection time; SD, standard deviation; PH, pulmonary hypertension.
