Chronic Respiratory Disease, 08/10/09
Weitzenblum E et al. – The term "cor pulmonale" is still popular but there is presently no consensual definition and it seems more appropriate to define the condition by the presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) resulting from diseases affecting the structure and/or the function of the lungs. LTOT stabilizes or at least attenuates and sometimes reverses the progression of PH, but PAP seldom returns to normal. Vasodilators (prostacyclin, endothelin receptor antagonists, sildenafil, nitric oxide) could be considered in patients with severe PH but controlled studies in this field are presently lacking.
