title: [Nifedipine in primary pulmonary hypertension while waiting for heart-lung transplantation].
abstract: Primary pulmonary hypertension is a disease of unknown etiology. No effective treatment is known. Heart-lung transplantation is a new possibility for these otherwise healthy young persons. A woman aged 27 years was treated successfully with the calcium-channel-blocker, nifedipine, with a good hemodynamic result after the initial treatment and three weeks thereafter.
