Oral hydralazine therapy for primary pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: It is suggested that hydralazine can reduce pulmonary resistance in some patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and on repeat catheterizations three to six months later the hemodynamic effects persisted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bosentan treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension related to connective tissue disease: a subgroup analysis of the pivotal clinical trials and their open-label extensions

TL;DR: Short-term bosentan treatment in a subgroup of patients with PAH secondary to CTD seems to have a favourable effect compared with placebo, and the long-term follow-up of these patients suggests that first-line bosENTan, with the subsequent addition of other PAH treatments if required, is safe for long- term treatment and may have a positive effect on outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemodynamic and Functional Assessment of Patients with Sickle Cell Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension

TL;DR: Patients with SCD-associated PH have both pulmonary arterial and venous PH associated with severe limitations in exercise capacity, likely compounded by interstitial lung fibrosis and severe anemia, and the use of the six-minute-walk distance as an index of PH and cardiopulmonary function is supported.
