To study the role of dopamine and serotonin systems in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in children with congenital heart defects (CHD) defined the concentrations of serotonin (5-HT) and its metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in plasma and platelets using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in urine by enzyme immunoassay (EI), evaluated their relationship with the degree of PH. Observed the increase of concentrations of 5-PT and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in plasma in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Defined the high degree of correlation between the concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in plasma and urine with the degree of PH. Concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in the urine in the postoperative period decreased in all patients with CHD and reached normal, comparable with the control group values, which makes it possible to consider a method of determining 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid urine, as a method of assessing of the effectiveness of therapy with PH.

Keywords:serotonin, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, congenital heart disease (CHD), pulmonary hypertension (pH).
