Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

* Patient who was scheduled to change Ambrisentan from Bosentan (prospective arm) or who already changed to Ambrisentan from Bosentan (retrospective arm) * Presence of cyanosis with \< 95 % arterial oxygen saturation (measured by transcutaneous pulse oximetry) or documented during exercise test (6 minute walk distance test or CPT stress test)

You may qualify if:

  • Age at least 18 years
  • Patient who was scheduled to change Ambrisentan from Bosentan (prospective arm) or who already changed to Ambrisentan from Bosentan (retrospective arm)
  • Presence of cyanosis with \< 95 % arterial oxygen saturation (measured by transcutaneous pulse oximetry) or documented during exercise test (6 minute walk distance test or CPT stress test)
  • Bosentan treatment more than 3months before changing to Ambrisentan and stable medication dosage for 1 month before changing medication
  • Presence of PAH as diagnosed by invasive methods with Rp:Rs \> 0.75 measured at rest or diagnosed by echocardiography with TR Vmax \> 3.5m/s and bidirectional or right to left shunt.
  • One of the following diagnosis:
  • i) non-corrected large congenital shunting defect at atrial, ventricular or arterial level: Partial anomalous venous return, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular cushion defect, persistent ductus arteriosus, or a combination of these.
  • ii) Surgically corrected shunting defect (diagnoses as above) with significant residual defect iii) Other diagnoses with univentricular physiology/haemodynamics.

You may not qualify if:

  • pregnancy or lactation
  • women of child-bearing age who are sexually active without practicing reliable methods of contraception
  • any disease or impairment that, in the opinion of the investigator, excludes a subject from participation
  • substance abuse (alcohol, medicines, drugs)
  • acute decompensated heart failure within 7 days before the invasive procedure
  • significant anemia (Hb \< 9.0 g/dl)
  • decompensated symptomatic polycythaemia
  • significant impairment of hepatic function (Child Pugh class C)
  • Significant left ventricular diseases (LV EF \< 45%)
  • significant valvular diseases other than tricuspid or pulmonary regurgitation ( mitral or aortic valvular impairment more than moderate degree)
  • pericardial constriction
  • history of stroke, myocardial infarction or life-threatening arrhythmia within 6 months before screening
  • bronchopulmonary dysplasia or other chronic severe lung diseases
  • history of significant pulmonary embolism (in situ thromboembolism with optimal anticoagulation can be enrolled)
  • other relevant diseases (e.g. HIV infection)
  • +3 more criteria
