  1. PVRI = pulmonary vascular resistance index; PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension; CTEPH = chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension; d-ROMS = derivative of reactive oxygen molecules; MDA = malondialdehyde; BAP = biological antioxidant potential; SOD = superoxide dismutase; ADMA = asymmetric dimethylarginine.
  2. *The difference is statistically significant.
