Early echocardiography to study pulmonary hypertension in mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia

(Baylor College of Medicine) Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine who focus on bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension, a common lung disease in premature infants, have shown that echocardiography can be used to detect the pulmonary hypertension in neonatal mice at an earlier time point than previously thought. Their report appears today in the International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
