Long-term outcomes with ambrisentan monotherapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND This study evaluated long-term outcomes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) undergoing treatment with ambrisentan monotherapy, a selective oral endothelin-1 receptor antagonist. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients who participated in the Ambrisentan in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Efficacy Study (AR...
متن کاملPulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Role of Ambrisentan
Increasing numbers of experimental investigations and recently also of clinical trials strongly suggest an integral involvement of the endothelin (ET) system in the pathophysiology of a variety of disease states, mainly of the cardiovascular system.Ambrisentan (LU 208075)approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2007, a selective ETA-receptor antagonist, is an orally active diphenyl pr...
متن کاملAmbrisentan therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of four doses of ambrisentan, an oral endothelin type A receptor-selective antagonist, in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). BACKGROUND Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a life-threatening and progressive disease with limited treatment options. Endothelin is a vasoconstrictor and smooth muscle cell ...
متن کاملClinical value of echocardiographic Doppler-derived right ventricular dp/dt in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
AIMS Right ventricular (RV) dp/dt is the instantaneous rate of RV pressure rise during early systole and is a surrogate marker of RV contractility. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of echocardiographic Doppler obtained RV dp/dt to predict long-term survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEP...
متن کاملEvaluation of Advanced Echocardiographic Parameters of Right Ventricular in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension
Background and Objective: Pulmonary hypertension is an increase in blood pressure of the pulmonary artery which leads to right ventricular dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were col...
