[Therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension].
Current international guidelines on the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are compiled by the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Chest Physicians. The classification of pulmonary hypertension and guidelines on diagnosis and therapy were last adopted at the 4th World Congress of PAH in Dana Point (California) in the year 2008. Based on these guidelines this article presents an overview of the current therapy recommendations for patients with PAH corresponding to group 1 of the diagnostic WHO classification of pulmonary hypertension. Here it is recommended that diagnostic and therapy should be carried out in an expert centre. The therapy forms for PAH can be classified into basic therapy (e. g. oral anticoagulants, diuretics and oxygen therapy) and specific therapy (e. g. phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists and prostanoids). Finally, some new substances will be presented which have already progressed relatively far in the clinical development.
