RV Fractional Area Change and TAPSE as Predictors of Severe Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Pulmonary Hypertension: A CMR Study.

abstract：:Alveolar epithelial type II (AT II) cells need phosphate (Pi) for surfactant synthesis. The Na-dependent (Na(d)) Pi transporters NaPi-IIb and Pit-1 are expressed in lung, but their expression, regulation, and function in AT II cells remain unclear. We studied NaPi-IIb and Pit-1 mRNA expression in cultured AT II cells ...
