Sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension: a role for endothelin receptor antagonists
Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 08/17/09

Pitsiou GG et al. – Data on the treatment of sarcoidosis–associated pulmonary hypertension are scarce, while the variety of underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are a major limitation in the implementation of a universal therapy.

Corticosteroid treatment resolved parenchymal lesions of the lung while vascular involvement did not respond, with the patient remaining in poor functional status.
