Patients with PH had significantly higher frequencies of the 5HTT-L-allele (52%) compared to individuals without PH (36%)

Prevalence of PH in COPD

It has not been screened systematicallyusing right-heart catheterization

The criteria used to define PH in COPDvary among different studies

The majority of haemodynamic studies inCOPD have been performed in patients withadvanced disease (stage III or IV of the GlobalInitiative on Obstructive Lung Disease [GOLD]classification)


120 patients with severe emphysema (mean FEV1 27%) screened LVRS

The incidence of PH (PAP >20 mmHg) was very high (91%)

In the majority of patients (86%) it was in the mild to moderate (range 20–35 mmHg)

Only 5% of patients showed PAP >35 mmHg

The correlation between PAP and lung function was very weak.

Scharf SM, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2002; 166 (3): 314-22


Haemodynamic studies of 998 COPD patients

27 patients (2.7%) with severe PH (PAP > 40mmHg)

16 of them had another disease capable of causing PHIn 11 (1.1%) COPD was the only cause

The patients had moderate airway obstruction (FEV1 50% predicted), severe hypoxaemia, hypocapnia, very low carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO)

Chaouat A, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005; 172 (2): 189-94


215 patients with severe COPD (FEV1 24% predicted), candidates for LVRS or lung transplantation

PH (PAP>25mmHg) was present in 50% of the patients

In 36.5% it was mild (26–35 mmHg)

In 9.8% it was moderate (36–45 mmHg)

In 3.7% it was severe (>45 mmHg)

BUILD-3: A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Bosentan inIdiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

AJRCCM Article in Press. Published on April 7, 2011

Prospective, randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, eventdriven, parallel-group, morbidity–mortality trialin adults with IPF of <3 years duration

616 patients were randomized to bosentan (n=407) or placebo (n=209)

Primary endpoint: time to IPF worsening (decrease in FVC ≥10% and DLCO ≥15% or acute exacerbation of IPF) or death

Secondary endpoint: health-related quality of life and dyspnea

No significant difference between treatment groups was observed in the primary endpoint analysis (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.10; p=0.2110)

No effects were observed on healthrelated quality of life or dyspnea.

CONCLUSIONI

Importanza della PH nella COPD e nelle ILD nella prognosi dei pz

Al momento, oltre all’O2 terapia per la COPD, non evidenze per altra terapia della PH

Inserimento di tali pz in studi clinici

Eventuale utilizzo della terapia vasodilatatrice polmonare come “bridge” al trapianto polmonare

Identificazione dei pz con PH “out of proportion” rispetto alla patologia parenchimale
