Impact of Parenteral Prostanoids in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: The Relevance of Timing.

Parenteral prostanoids are being recommended in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatment, but the prognostic relevance of delayed treatment initiation is still debated. This study assessed the impact of the timing of prostacyclin treatment initiation on reducing PVR and achieving a low-risk profile in PAH patients. The study enrolled 151 patients who started on parenteral prostanoids with different treatment strategies.
