Popis: ObjectiveTo investigate how serum GDF-15 concentration affects pulmonary artery hemodynamics and pulmonary vascular morphological changes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.MethodsA total of 45 patients admitted to our hospital from December 2017 to December 2019, were selected for the study. Pulmonary vascular hemodynamics and pulmonary vascular morphology were detected by RHC and IVUS. Serum GDF-15 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Based on the concentration of GDF-15, the patients were divided into two groups—the normal GDF-15 group (GDF-15 0.05).ConclusionPatients with pulmonary arterial hypertension with elevated GDF-15 levels have higher pulmonary arterial pressure, higher pulmonary vascular resistance, and more serious pulmonary vascular lesions, which are potentially more harmful. There was no statistically significant difference in survival rates among patients with different serum GDF-15 levels.
