Abstract		In order to compare the effects of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) and magnesium (Mg) and their potential synergism on hemodynamics in pulmonary hypertension, we compared the effect of NO and Mg alone and in combination. The fact that simultaneous administration selectively increases pulmonary vascular relaxation would suggest that their association would allow for a decrease in the NO concentration required for optimal pulmonary vasodilation, thus lowering the risk of side effects.
