Benefit
Increased efficacy
Decrease side effects by use of smaller doses
Simplicity by shifting from IV to oral therapy
The 3 drug groups had been combined as add on therapy in many clinical trials with good results though sometimes conflicting
The role of combinations though stressed on in the guidelines for severe cases need further more data to confirm its benefit

RCT 235 + 20 m
Overview of Combination Therapy Trials Combination Therapy: Ongoing or Recently Completed
Trang 31 Low-dose dobutamine (up to 10 μg/kg/min) improves RV function and may be useful in patients
with pulmonary vascular dysfunction, although it may reduce SVR (Low-moderate-quality evidence, a WEAK recommendation)
Dopamine may increase tachyarrhythmias and is not recommended in the setting of cardiogenic
shock (STRONG recommendation based on high-quality evidence level)
PDE III inhibitors improve RV performance and reduce PVR in patients with acute pulmonary
vascular dysfunction, although systemic hypotension is common, usually requiring admininstration of pressors (Moderate-quality evidence, a STRONG recommendation)
co- Inhaled milrinone may be useful to minimize systemic hypotension and V/Q mismatch in
pulmonary vascular dysfunction (Based on low-quality evidence, a WEAK recommendation)
Levosimendan may be considered for short-term improvements in RV performance in patients
with biventricular heart failure (low-quality evidence, a WEAK recommendation)

EVALUATION OF RESPONSE TO THERAPY
Trang 34PARADIGM SHIFT IN PAH MANAGEMENT
Like HF, cancer, etc- the mantra is :
Treat quickly
Hit hard
Use upfront combos rather than wait &
rescue-even in relatively stable patients for better long
term outcomes
Larger RCT’s of triple upfront therapy needed
PRINCIPLES OF PAH TREATMENT
PRINCIPLES OF DRUG MANAGEMENT
Patients should undergo cardiac catheterization before initiating therapy
Obtain baseline assessments of the disease to know whether treatments are effective
Test Vasoreactivity
Reactive patients should be treated with calcium channel blockers
Nonreactive patients should be offered other therapies
Reassess at 8 weeks; patients who don’t respond are unlikely to respond with longer exposure
Ineffective treatments should be substituted rather than new added
Patients who fail all treatments should be considered for lung transplantation
Only the addition of sildenafil to epoprostenol has been shown to be efficacious
Pulmonary Hypertension and its management
Trang 35Recommendations for Specific pAH subsets
A PAH-specific therapeutic algorithm is recommended in paediatric
PH patientsd, similar to that used in adults
I/C Combination therapy should be considered in paediatric PH patients IIa/C
Trang 37Recommendations for Specific pAH subsets
Treatment of patients with CTD and PAH should follow the same treatment algorithm as in IPAH
Subgroup analysis of patients with SSc enrolled in the RCTs per- formed with bosentan, macitentan, sildenafil, riociguat and subcuta- neous treprostinil have shown favourable effects
Continuous i.v epoprostenol therapy was shown to improve ex- ercise capacity, symptoms and haemodynamics in a 3-month RCT in SSc-PAH.222
Treprostinil, an analogue of epoprostenol suitable for continuous subcutaneous administration, has modest effects on symptoms and hemodynamics in PAH
PAH- PoPH
PAH associated with portal hypertension should be referred to centres with expertise in managing both conditions
I/C
• Anecdotal reports suggest that ERAs, PDE-5is, sGC stimulators and prostacyclin analogues may be used
in this patient population
• This includes potentially hepatotoxic drugs such as bosentan, but it should be noted that this compound tends to accumulate in patients with severely impaired liver function (i.e Child – Pugh class B and C)
• Newer ERAs (ambrisentan, maxcitentan) have a theoretical advantage over bosentan, as the risk of associated liver toxicity is lower

Trang 38Recommendations for Specific pAH subsets
PAH- HIV
In patients with PAH associated with HIV infection, the same treatment algorithm used for patients with PAH should be considered, taking into consideration co-morbidities and drug– drug interactions
IIIa/C
• Non-responders to acute vasodilator challenge and thus should not receive CCBs
• Experiences with prostacyclin in HIV-associated pulmonary hyperten- sion are based on smaller, uncontrolled trials
• Iloprost- treated patients showed a significant improvement in exercise capacity, as measured by a six-minute walk test,
as well as in NYHA classification
• The major side effect of this therapy is an elevation of liver enzymes The use of bosentan in patients suffering from HCV/HIV co-infection has to be considered carefully
• Sildenafil (RevatioTM) was the first phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor to be approved for the therapy of pulmonary hypertension by the FDA last year, and at the beginning of this year by the EMEA in Europe
• RevatioTM is also approved for use in HIV-associated pulmonary hypertension, although combination with protease in- hibitors is not recommended because of possible interactions due to the same meta bolic pathway
PAH- CTEPH
• Riociguat is recommended in symptomatic patients who have been classified as having persistent/recurrent CTEPH after surgical treatment or inoperable CTEPH by a CTEPH team including at least one experienced PEA surgeon
I/B
• The dual endothelin antagonist bosentan decreased in PVR and an increase in the 6MWD was not met
• However, an oral sGC stimulator, riociguat, was administered to 261 of 446 screened patients with non-operable CTEPH
or persistent/recurrent PH after PEA for 16 weeks and led to a mean increase of 39 m in the 6MWD and to a least squares mean differrence of 246 dyn.cm.s25 in PVR; the time to clinical worsening remained unchanged
