Abstract

The objective of this preliminary study was to evaluate the effects of Bosentan administration in patients with congenital heart disease with hypertension of the pulmonary artery between May 2015 - June 2020. This study found 33 subjects according to the specified criteria were mostly female, mean age 23 ± 0.8 years. The male sex ratio was high. There had no associated disease. It was found that after receiving Bosentan, mean PAP by RHC, PVR by RHC and NT-pro BNP reduced statistically (p<.001; mean: 9.4, 1.64, 642; 95% CI 7:12.5, 1.09:2.36, 313.8: 809.15) Respectively. In addition, the cardiac index (CI), mean RV TAPSE by echo and 6MWD in creased statistically significance (p<0.001; mean = 0.99, 5.64, 66.39; 95%CI 0.66: 1.37, 4.75:6.54, 56.08:76.71), respectively. This study demonstrated that Bosentan significantly improved the therapeutic effect of both exercise performance and clinical efficacy. Improved right ventricular function, decreased in pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance.
