Pharmaceutical Therapies for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Complicated by Pulmonary Hypertension
Journal Title: Science Insights - Year 2022, Vol 41, Issue 3
Abstract
As a chronic lung condition, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is well-known. As our understanding of COPD’s consequences has grown, pulmonary hypertension (PH) has drawn a growing amount of attention. Patients’ quality of life is significantly impacted by the higher mortality and poor prognosis of COPD patients with PH, and there are still no effective medications available to treat the condition. The development of medication therapy for COPD complicated by PH was examined in order to fully comprehend the state of the disease’s treatment at the moment. The findings suggest that for COPD patients with PH, the underlying disorders should be treated as well as possible. Statin and fasudil may also be advantageous, although the impact of targeted medications is still debatable. The effectiveness of various medications for COPD will eventually need to be further elucidated by larger randomized controlled studies.
