مستخلص: | Background: Calcium channel blockers (CCB) are the first effective therapy for vasoreactive patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). However, the advent of modern PAH-specific drugs may undermine the role of vasoreactivity tests and CCB treatment. We aimed to clarify the effect of acute vasoreactivity testing and CCB on patients with IPAH receiving PAH-specific treatment. Methods: We retrospectively investigated consecutive patients with IPAH (n = 136) diagnosed between 2000 and 2020 and collected data from patients who underwent acute vasoreactivity testing using inhaled nitric oxide (NO). The effects of vasoreactivity testing and CCB therapy were reviewed. Long-term survival was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Acute vasoreactivity testing was performed in 49% of patients with IPAH (n = 67), including 23 patients (34%) receiving PAH-specific therapy without vasoreactivity testing. Eight patients (12%), including three patients (4.4%) receiving PAH-specific therapy, presented acute responses at vasoreactivity testing. They received high-dose CCB therapy (CCB monotherapy for five patients [7.5%] and CCB therapy and PAH-specific therapy for three patients [4.4%]). They presented a significant improvement in clinical parameters and near-normalisation of haemodynamics (mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from 46 [interquartile range: 40-49] to 19.5 [interquartile range: 18-23] mmHg [P < .001] at 1-year follow-up). All eight vasoreactive responders receiving CCB therapy showed better long-term survival than non-responders treated with PAH-specific therapy (P < .001). Conclusions: CCB therapy benefited patients with IPAH who showed acute response to vasoreactivity testing using inhaled NO, even when receiving modern PAH-specific therapy. Acute vasoreactive responders may benefit more from CCB than from PAH-specific therapy. Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest T.
