Data are presented as mean ± SD or median (interquartile range). *Means the data after AVT versus that before AVT, P<0.05; t value; Z value. The paired-sample t-test was used to analyze the date of normal distribution. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test of two related samples was used to analyze the date of nonnormal distribution. AVT: Acute vasoreactivity testing; CO: Cardiac output; mBP: Mean blood pressure; mPAP: Mean pulmonary arterial pressure; PaO2: Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood; PvO2: Mixed venous oxygen partial pressure; PVR: Pulmonary vascular resistance; Qs/Qt: Intrapulmonary shunt; SaO2: Arterial oxygen saturation; SvO2: Mixed venous oxygen saturation; SVR: Systemic vascular resistance; SD: Standard deviation. 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa.
