Elevated plasma endothelin‐1 levels in sickle cell anemia: Relationships to oxygen saturation and left ventricular hypertrophy
TL;DR: Endothelin‐1 (Et‐1) is a vasoconstrictor produced by endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells in response to hypoxia, which induces hypertrophy in cultured cardiac myocytes, which is measured in patients with sickle cell anemia and controls ages 16–29 years.
