The response of patients with systemic sc...

CTD-PH is caused by not only pulmonary arterial hypertension, but also interstitial pneumonitis, hypoxia, chronic thromboembolism of pulmonary artery, or left heart diseases. Recently, prognosis of PH is improved by progress of diagnostic measures including echocardio...
متن کامل[Treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with connective tissue disease].
Pulmonary hypertension is the most ominous complication of connective tissue diseases and its treatment has been a big challenge to clinicians. Vasodilators including epoprostenol (prostacyclin), bosentan (endothelin-receptor antagonist), and a sildenafil (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor) have recently become available in Japan. These vasodilators may improve exercise tolerance, hemodynamics...

Patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (APAH) experience poorer outcomes than those with idiopathic PAH (IPAH) [1–6]. In the USA, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are most commonly affected by CTD-APAH and have the worst survival [1]. Similarly, 74% of a large cohort with CTD-APAH in the UK had SSc, and these patients had poorer survival t...
