Vasodilator therapy is frequently needed to treat pulmonary hypertension after heart transplantation. In the present study, the effects of intravenous sodium nitroprusside, prostacyclin, prostaglandin E1, and inhaled nitric oxide (5, 10, and 20 parts per million) on central hemodynamics, right ventricular function, and pulmonary selectivity were evaluated shortly after heart transplantation.
