Data ID 2807
Factor Qp(pulmonary flow)
Description After 6 months of therapy, an improvement in haemodynamics (pulmonary blood flow 3.4 ± 1.0 vs 3.1 ± 1.2l/min/m(2), P=0.002) was observed.
Biomarker NA
Classification E9 (physiological factor - hemodynamic parameter)

Application treatment and prognosis
Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, clinical and haemodynamic impact of add-on sildenafil in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD)-related pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Eisenmenger physiology after failure of oral bosentan therapy.
p Value 0.0002
Conclusion After 6 months of therapy, an improvement in haemodynamics (pulmonary blood flow 3.4 ± 1.0 vs 3.1 ± 1.2l/min/m(2), P=0.002) was observed.
