Zusammenfassung

Introduction: In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients, often nitric oxide (NO) is used for acute vasoreactivity testing. Alternatively, i.v. epoprostenol, inhaled iloprost, sildenafil and adenosine have been used. However, little is known about the comparison of NO- and sildenafil responses. Aims and Objectives: In this retrospective analysis we sought to compare the acute hemodynamic responses to inhaled NO and oral sildenafil in PH patients undergoing right heart catheterization. Patients and Methods: We included n = 111 PH patients who received both vasodilators during a right heart catheter investi…
