1 Updates on Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment Dane Mellgren, PharmD PGY-1 Pharmacy Practice Resident Hennepin County Medical Center 04/27/18
2 Disclosure I have no disclosures to be made regarding the content of this presentation.
3 Objectives Distinguish the differences between pharmacological agents used in treatment of pulmonary hypertension including pharmacology, drug interactions, and adverse events. Design a pharmacotherapy plan for treating patients with pulmonary hypertension using current practice guidelines. Develop approaches to management of complications associated with pulmonary hypertension therapies. Determine the role of anticoagulation in treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
4 Guideline Review
5 World Health Organization Classifications Class I: Patients with PH but without resulting limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope. Class II: Patients with PH resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope. Class III: Patients with PH resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes undue dyspnea or fatigue, chest pain, or near syncope. Class IV: Patients with PH with inability to carry out any physical activity without symptoms. These patients manifest signs of right-sided heart failure. Dyspnea and/or fatigue may even be present at rest. Discomfort is increased by any physical activity.
6 CHEST Guidelines 2013
7 Initial Management 8. We suggest that patients with PAH who, in the, absence of right-sided heart failure or contraindications to CCB therapy, demonstrate acute vasoreactivity according to consensus definition, should be considered candidates for a trial of therapy with an oral CCB
8 What s Next WHO Functional Class II For treatment-naive patients with PAH with WHO FC II symptoms who are not candidates for, or who have failed, CCB therapy, we advise monotherapy be initiated with a currently approved ETRA, PDE5 inhibitor, or the soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat. Endothelin Receptor Antagonists Ambrisentan Bosentan Macitentan Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors Sildenafil Tadalafil Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Inhibitors Riociguat
9 WHO Functional Class III For treatment-naive PAH patients with WHO FC III symptoms who are not candidates for, or who have failed CCB therapy, we advise monotherapy be initiated with a currently approved ETRA, a PDE5 inhibitor, or the soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat. For PAH patients in WHO FC III who have evidence of progression of their disease, and/or markers of poor clinical prognosis despite treatment with one or two classes of oral agents, we advise consideration of the addition of a parenteral or inhaled prostanoid. Parenteral Prostanoids Epoprostenol Treprostinil Inhaled Prostanoids Treprostinil
10 WHO Functional Class IV For treatment naive PAH patients in WHO FC IV, we advise initiation of monotherapy with a parenteral prostanoid agent. For treatment naive PAH patients in WHO FC IV who are unable or do not desire to manage parenteral prostanoid therapy, we advise treatment with an inhaled prostanoid in combination with an ETRA.
