Document Details : Title: Sustained long-term benefit of sildenafil in primary pulmonary hypertension Author(s): SAYIN, T. , ÖZENCI, M. Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 62 Issue: 1 Date: 2007 Pages: 47-49 DOI: 10.2143/AC.62.1.2019370 Abstract : Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease with an ominous prognosis for which new therapeutic options are being developed. Recently, there have been case reports indicating that sildenafil may be of benefit in short- to midterm follow-up. However, long-term clinical data of sildenafil in primary pulmonary hypertensive patients is lacking.We report a patient with primary pulmonary hypertension treated with sildenafil 200 mg/day for 50 months with a sustained clinical response. |
