To evaluate the effect of inhaled treprostinil compared to placebo on exercise capacity and time to clinical worsening.
The primary endpoint of this study is the percent difference between the VentriPoint Medical System (VMS) and cMRI for estimating the end diastolic and end systolic right ventricular volumes (RVEDV and RVESV) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The trial will be defined as positive if the mean VMS-cMRI percent difference is <10% and >-10% at a 1-sided 0.025 statistical significance level for RVEDV and for RVESV, with no safety concerns for the VMS procedure.
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Udenafil in patient with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension(PAH).
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that treating PAH-CHD patients preoperatively with PAH drugs and keeping them on treatment for six months after surgery reduces the risk of immediate postoperative death and the risk of residual PAH at six months following operation to <10%.
The main purpose of this clinical trial is to study the safety and efficacy of anastrozole in adults diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The study will evaluate how well the drug is tolerated. The study will also evaluate if anastrozole effects estradiol (E2) hormone levels, a sex hormone, and improves the function of the lower right chamber of the heart (right ventricle).
Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a rare, severe disease, characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance ultimately leading to right ventricular (RV) failure and premature death. PAH may be idiopathic (IPAH) or may be also related to various conditions like portal hypertension, HIV infection, left to right shunt, connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma (PAHSSc). Symptoms include dyspnea and fatigue resulting in restricted exercise capacity and poor quality of life. The therapies currently approved have been shown to improve survival. Indeed, recent studies described a three year survival higher than 80%. This improved survival is associated with major challenges for clinicians as most patients remain with limited exercise capacity and poor quality of life. A clear understanding of exercise physiopathology is thus mandatory to specifically address mechanisms responsible for this exercise limitation and eventually improve patients' management. In order to better characterize the exercise physiopathology in PAH, the general objective of this research is to systematically examine blood flow distribution and limb muscles microcirculation at rest and during submaximal exercise in PAH.
It has been hypothesized that one of the benefits of bosentan relates to pulmonary vascular remodeling. The investigators believe that this study will help document the nature of beneficial changes that occur in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) in response to bosentan therapy. In turn, demonstrating that changes in pulmonary vascular structure and function accompany clinical improvement.
This is a multicenter observational case-control analysis lasting 12 months aimed at determining the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (PAH) in patients with Thalassemia Major and Intermedia. The patients will be followed, treated and examined according to the best standard clinical practice dictated by the Italian Society for the study of Hemoglobinopathies (SITE), Thalassemia International Federation (TIF)and the Task Force for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension of European Society of Cardiology (ESC); European Respiratory Society (ERS); International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) guidelines.
The purpose of this study is to see how inhaled treprostinil sodium (Tyvaso) affects the amount of air and blood that reach the alveoli, or tiy air sacs, in the lungs of patients with Group 1 Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with concomitant Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
