Filter by:The Eisenmenger syndrome corresponds to the most advanced form of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease. The syndrome causes chronic hypoxemia, with an increase in erythrocyte mass, which predisposes to thrombotic complications. Pentoxifylline is a xanthine derivative and it is considered as a hemorrheological agent with described effects of reduction in erythrocyte and platelet aggregation, adhesion and activation of leukocytes, and endothelial damage. The main objective of this study is to verify if the chronic oral administration of pentoxifylline to Eisenmenger patients induces an increase in the circulating levels of thrombomodulin, a naturally occurring proteoglycan with anticoagulant, anti thrombotic and anti-inflammatory properties.
In this study, the investigator will evaluate the treatment effects and safety, patient compliance of Ambrisentan in Eisenmenger syndrome in PAH patients who have been previously treated with Bosentan.
The purpose of this study is to verify the applicability Six minutes walk test and Shuttle walk test in assessing functional capacity in patients with Eisenmenger Syndrome. Patients will undergo three functional tests, being the six-minute walk test, shuttle walk test and cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer, associated with evaluation of metabolic and ventilatory variables and cardiac monitoring throughout the test.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of oxygen supplementation during a submaximal exercise test in patients with Eisenmenger's Syndrome.
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a wellknown comorbidity in cardiovascular disease. Knowledge about SDB in adult congenital heart disease is limited.
A growing body of data, suggests that transcatheter valves are effective when implanted in other locations (mitral, aortic, tricuspid) and in high pressure environments. The investigators plan to offer transcatheter valve implantation as an alternative to high risk surgery in patients who require revision of a stenotic or regurgitant valve in the non-pulmonary position (mitral, aortic, tricuspid). This therapy can provide an alternative to patients who may be considered high risk and may not be able to survive a surgical procedure.The use of the devices on this protocol are for medical treatment and are not part of a clinical trial.
This is a historical cohort study with retrospective collection of data comprising all Nordic patient's diagnosed with Eisenmengers syndrome in the period 1977 through 2011. The goal is to determine prognostic factors for mortality and morbidity.
Clinical study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of macitentan in subjects with Eisenmenger Syndrome.
Long-term study to evaluate if macitentan is safe, tolerable and efficient enough to be used for treatment of Eisenmenger syndrome.
Due to vasodilatory properties of the NO, one of the therapeutic approaches for IPAH is oral use of nitric oxide precursors (10). Efficacy of L-arginine is well-documented in the current literature but there is paucity of data with regard to L-citrulline- malate. Hence, this study will evaluate therapeutic efficacy of L-citrulline- malate in two categories of patients with pulmonary hypertension (IPAH, and Eisenmeger syndrome). This randomized clinical trial utilizes 6-minute walk, pro BNP levels and the echocardiographic indexes an indicator of functional improvement of the patients.
