283.2.1 é«é »èé»
283.2.1.1 5 WHO Groups
- PAH (idiopathic, heritable, drug, CTD, CHD, portal, HIV, schisto)
- Left heart disease (most common)
- Lung disease / hypoxia
- CTEPH
- Multifactorial
283.2.1.2 RHC Findings
- Pre-capillary PH: mPAP > 20, PCWP †15, PVR ⥠2 WU
- Post-capillary: mPAP > 20, PCWP > 15
- Mixed: PVR > 2 in post-capillary
283.2.1.3 Vasoreactivity Test (IPAH Only)
- Inhaled NO or IV epoprostenol
- Positive: â mPAP ⥠10 + final < 40 + CO unchanged
- ~ 10% positive â CCB (amlodipine, diltiazem, nifedipine)
283.2.1.4 Three Pathways
- Endothelin: bosentan, ambrisentan, macitentan
- NO/cGMP: sildenafil, tadalafil, riociguat (sGC stimulator)
- Prostacyclin: epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost, selexipag
283.2.1.5 Key Trials
- AMBITION (2015): initial combo (ambrisentan + tadalafil) > mono
- SERAPHIN: macitentan composite endpoint benefit
- GRIPHON: selexipag added to standard â disease progression
- STELLAR (2023): sotatercept improved 6MWT in PAH
- CHEST-1: riociguat for CTEPH
- PATENT-1: riociguat for PAH
- INCREASE (2021): inhaled treprostinil for ILD-PH
