Despite recent advances in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) treatment, this condition is still characterized by an extremely poor prognosis. In this review, we discuss the use of newly-approved drugs for PAH treatment with already known mechanisms of action (macitentan), innovative targets (riociguat and selexipag), and novel therapeutic approaches with initial up-front combination therapy. Secondly, we describe new potential signaling pathways and investigational drugs with promising role in the treatment of PAH.
尽管肺动脉高压(PAH)的治疗最近取得了进展,但这种疾病的预后仍然非常差。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了已有的作用机制(马西替坦)、创新靶点(利奥西呱和塞立西帕)的新药以及初始联合治疗的新型治疗方法在 PAH 治疗中的应用。其次,我们描述了新的潜在信号通路和有前途的治疗 PAH 的研究药物。
