Lifesaving Nitric Oxide Fund To Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension In addition to being a by-product of cigarette smoke and rush hour traffic, nitric oxide is used in pediatric intensive care. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart, thereby decreasing the heart's work. We've been using this frequently after surgery with our kids and it has been critical to our lifesaving work. Please give today to ensure that these surgeries are not in vain - that we are able to deal with both the cause and the effects of congenital heart disease in these dear Iraqi children.
