“…They lead to a decrease in Ppa, Ppcw and PVR, and increase in cardiac output, but also to a drop in systemic arterial pressure and resistance [71][72][73]. In a multicentre international randomised study including 471 patients (FIRST study), treatment of patients with severe LV failure (reduced ejection fraction; mean Ppcw 25 mmHg) with intravenous epoprostenol failed to improve exercise capacity or quality of life, or to reduce morbidity compared with the standard of care (e.g.…”

“…In particular because concerns have been raised about the possible induction of sudden death in PH-LHD patients by phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors [90]. Small, single-centre studies can be considered as proof-of-concept experiences (favourable preliminary single-centre studies were also published with prostanoids [73] and endothelin receptor antagonists [77]) and cannot be considered as a substitute for formal registration large studies or encourage the clinical use of these compounds.…”

“…In the studies by Creager et al 60 , Unverferth et al 61 , and Lee and Packer 64 , patients with a smaller RA pressure had a better prognosis than those with high pressures in this chamber. In another study 57 , the mean pulmonary pressure was the only hemodynamic variable independently related with a worse prognosis in patients with CHF treated on an outpatient basis.…”

“…In the studies by Sueta et al 57 and Bittner et al 58 , there was a strong correlation between the distance walked and survival. Bittner et al 58 showed that when the distance walked was smaller than 305m, the annual mortality was 11% compared to only 4%, when the distance walked was higher than 443m.…”

“…Prostanoidy wykazywały korzystne ostre i długotrwałe efekty hemodynamiczne u pacjentów z PH-LHD włączanych do małych badań. Prowadziły one do zmniejszenia PAP, PAWP i PVR oraz wzrostu CO, ale również do spadku systemowego ciśnienia tętniczego i oporu [34]. W międzynarodowym randomizowanym badaniu (FIRST) 471 pacjentów z ciężką niewydolnością lewej komory (obniżona EF, średnie PAWP 25 mm Hg) leczono dożylnym wlewem epoprostenolu w celu poprawy wydolności fizycznej, jakości życia i zmniejszenia zachorowalności.…”
