Research Article: Can we know more about atherosclerosis in cyanotic patients with congenital heart disease—the potential role of sphingosine-1-phosphate?

Date Published: 2025-04-28

Abstract:
Background and aims: Progress in cardiology has extended the lifespan of patients with congenital heart defects (CHD). Cyanotic patients are exposed to typical diseases of adulthood, including atherosclerosis. Rheological changes typical of cyanosis affect the vascular endothelium's function and may promote atherosclerosis development. We assessed the endothelial function and its relationship to biochemical parameters, particularly sphingosine-1-phosphate, in cyanotic CHD patients.
