“…Der Einsatz von Vasodilatatoren unter Einschluss von NO hat bisher enttäuschende Ergebnisse gezeigt. So kann inhaliertes NO den Gasaustausch bei Patienten mit Hypoxämie infolge von Ventilations-/Perfusions-Inhomogenitäten verschlechtern [183,184]. Daher ist NO bei Patienten mit stabiler COPD kontraindiziert.…”

“…Vasodilators: Vasodilators (hydralazine, nitrates, nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem, angiotensin‐converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors) do not produce sustained relief of pulmonary hypertension in patients with COPD 86 , 87 . They can worsen oxygenation (by increasing blood flow through poorly ventilated lung) and result in systemic hypotension.…”

“…Some vasodilators (eg, calcium antagonists) have been shown to reduce right ventricular pressure with minimal side effects and increased well‐being, at least in the short term. Nitric oxide worsens V/Q mismatching and is therefore contraindicated in patients with COPD 86 , 87 …”

“…In addition, vascular smooth muscle tone is increased, as evidenced by acute reduction in pulmonary arterial pressure in response to vasodilatory agents (16,27,32). For patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, these hypoxia-induced structural and functional changes in the pulmonary vasculature correlate with the development of pulmonary hypertension and increased mortality.…”
