Pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) is a complex condition in which 2 consequential diseases interact and increase negative outcomes. Although the pathophysiologic mechanisms of PH-ILD are not yet well understood, the pronounced effect on functional status, supplemental oxygen requirements, health care resource utilization, and mortality that frequently accompany this diagnosis are well documented. A critical feature that complicates pathophysiologic understanding of PH-ILD is that progression of the pulmonary vascular disease does not always appear to be driven by the underlying lung disease.

Article Synopsis
  • * In research using mice, SCD was found to enhance vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels) through the alpha-1 adrenergic receptor, particularly by increasing the expression of the alpha-1a receptor in the aortic tissue of SCD mice compared to controls.
  • * Treatment with ambrisentan, an ETA receptor blocker, improved blood vessel function in both mice and SCD patients, suggesting that targeting the ET-1 pathway could help improve vascular health in individuals with

Background: Endothelin receptor antagonists are commonly used in clinical practice, with concerns about their hepatotoxicity.

Aim: This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive pharmacovigilance study based on FDA adverse event reporting system data to evaluate the possible association between endothelin receptor antagonists and drug-induced liver injury.

Method: Adverse event reports from FDA adverse event reporting system between January 2004 and December 2022 were analyzed.
