Abstract

The effects of riociguat, an oral-soluble guanylate-cyclase stimulator, were studied in 10 infants with chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Respiratory status (n = 8/10), right heart dilation (n = 7/10), function (n = 9/10), and chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension (n = 8/10) improved. Median decrement in systolic (12 [4, 14]), diastolic (14 [7, 20]), and mean arterial (14 [10, 17]) pressures were noted; no critical hypotension or hypoxemia occurred.
