1 = haemodynamic values at baseline; 2 = haemodynamic values after treatment with epoprostenol; 3 = haemodynamic values after treatment with epoprostenol and inhalation of 30 μg iloprost.
MPAP = mean pulmonary artery pressure; MSAP = mean systemic arterial pressure; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; CI = cardiac index; CO = cardiac output; PVR = pulmonary vascular resistance; Svo ₂, Sao ₂ = venous and arterial oxygen saturation; Pao ₂ = systemic arterial oxygen pressure.
