Presentation Transcript

  1. Learning Objectives • Utilize knowledge regarding the specific disease pathways for PAH in order to identify the sites and targets for common therapies, including prostacyclin analogs, endothelin receptor antagonists, and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors. • Evaluate patients for comorbid conditions to determine the relative risk for PAH. • Use evidence-based guidelines to select the most appropriate treatment. • Apply determinants of risk to assess a patient’s prognosis and recognize when therapy needs to be augmented. • Compare the side effect profiles and drug interaction potential of available PAH treatments to gauge the risk-benefit ratio of each option and to determine areas for patient monitoring.

  2. Overview of PAH US prevalence = estimates up to 50,000 to 100,000 15,000 to 25,000 diagnosed and treated Disease of small pulmonary arteries characterized by vascular narrowing and increased vascular resistance Vasoconstriction Cell proliferation and pulmonary vascular remodeling Thrombosis in situ Common cause of death: Right ventricular (RV) failure Humbert, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2004;43:13S-24S.

  3. Mechanisms of Pathology for PAH Endothelinpathway Prostacyclinpathway Nitricoxidepathway Endothelial cells L-arginine Preproendothelin Proendothelin Arachidonicacid Prostaglandin I2 NOS Nitric oxide Prostaglandin I2 Endothelin-1 Endothelin-receptor A Endothelin-receptor B Exogenous nitric oxide Prostacyclinderivates cGMP Endothelin-receptor antagonists cAMP Phosphodiesterase type 5 Vasodilatation and antiproliferation Vasodilatation and antiproliferation Vasoconstriction and proliferation Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor Humbert, et al. N Engl J Med. 2004;351:1425-1436.

  4. Pathophysiology of PAH Genetic Predisposition } Vasoconstriction Cell Proliferation Thrombosis Vascular Remodeling Other Risk Factors (CTD, CHD, toxins, etc.) Altered Pathways And Mediators

  5. Mutations in the gene that codes for BMPR2 BMPR2 mutations are identified in ~ 70% of patients with heritable PAH BMPR2 mutations are also found in ~ 20% of patients with I-PAH » Clinical course – poor response to acute vasodilator testing and treatment with calcium channel blockers Mutations in the gene that codes for: Activin receptor-like kinase type 1 (ALK1) Endoglin (ENG) » Cause hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and may lead to the development of PAH Genetic Mutations in PAH Machado, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2009;54:S32-42.

  6. Vasoconstriction in PAH Vasoconstriction Vasodilation Enhanced Vasoconstriction ↑ Endothelin ↑ Serotonin (5-HT) ↑ Thromboxane ↓ Potassium channel expression/activity Impaired Vasodilation ↓ Prostacyclin ↓ Nitric oxide ↓ Nitric oxide synthase

  7. Cell Proliferation in PAH High PVR • Proliferative / angiogenic / apoptosis resistant • ↑ Endothelin, serotonin (5-HT), VEGF, BMPR2 and ALK1 mutations • ↓ Potassium channel expression/activity

  8. Vascular Remodeling in PAH Poorly understood PAH cells are pro-proliferative Many factors implicated in pro-proliferative phenotype Proliferative and obstructive remodeling of the pulmonary vessel wall Some new therapies aimed at controlling cell growth Several potential mediators Alterations in gene expression in growth-controlling pathways Growth factors Inflammatory mediators Galie, et al. Eur Heart J. 2009;30:2493-2537.

  11. Invasive DiagnosticTesting for PAH Right heart catheterization • Mandatory for all patients being tested for PAH • Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) • Cardiac output (CO) • Right atrial pressure (RAP) • Pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) Badesch, et al.
