Title: PHT in thal intermedia
Post by: Manal on August 12, 2007, 12:42:12 PM
Andy, i read what yo wrote about Nitric oxide and its benefits in preventing or decreasing pulmanary hypertension (PHT), but could you shed some more light about PHT. I mean are there any tests to detect it, what is it exactly? Reading that 50% of intermedias have PHT scares me, is this fatal? Does blood thinners like vitamin E help? Does the Echo  shows any signs of PHT? What should i be mointering or waiting for?????????????????????

Shall i give my son these NO pills or is it inhaled??
