  1. NO = nitric oxide; SPAP = systolic pulmonary arterial pressure; DPAP = diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure; MPAP = mean pulmonary arterial pressure; PVRI = pulmonary vascular resistance index; HR = heart rate; CI = cardiac index; RVSWI = right ventricular stroke work index; RAP = right aterial pressure; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; MAP = mean arterial pressure; SVRI = systemic vascular resistance index. Values are given as mean ± SEM. *P value for the one-way analysis of variance (dose-response curve).
