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 0.003
Conclusion After 6 months of therapy, an improvement in haemodynamics (pulmonary vascular resistances index 19 ± 9 vs 24 ± 16 WU/m(2), P=0.003) was observed.
