The effect of amlodipine and sildenafil on the NT-proBNP level of patients with COPD-induced pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important cause of heart failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The pro brain natriuretic peptide N-terminal (NT-proBNP) has been suggested as a noninvasive marker to evaluate ventricular function. However, there is no evidence to support the use of NT-proBNP in monitoring the benefits of vasodilators in COPD induced PH. Thus, we used NT-proBN...

متن کاملTreatment of pulmonary hypertension in the general adult intensive care unit: a role for oral sildenafil?
Use of inhaled nitric oxide for treatment of pulmonary hypertension in adult critical illness is limited by its mode of delivery and high costs, prompting evaluation of alternative therapies. We report the use of oral sildenafil in a patient with severe secondary pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction. Following reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascula...
متن کاملSildenafil--a possible treatment for acute pulmonary hypertension during cardiac surgery.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2002;15:13–15 Primary pulmonary hypertension has an annual incidence of 1 to 2 cases per million people in the general population and an onset in the third to fourth decades of life (1). It is a progressive disease that affects women twice as frequently as men; the mean survival time from diagnosis is 2.5 years (2). Patients with chronic congestive heart failure may develop sec...
متن کاملSildenafil preserves lung endothelial function and prevents pulmonary vascular remodeling in a rat model of diastolic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension as a frequent complication of left heart disease (PH-LHD) is characterized by lung endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling. Although PH-LHD contributes to morbidity and mortality in heart failure, established therapies for PH-LHD are lacking. We tested the effect of chronic sildenafil treatment in an experimental model of PH-LHD. METHODS AND RESULTS I...
