Abstract:
:Haemodynamic studies at rest and during exercise together with radionuclide ventriculography, pulmonary function and clinical well-being assessment were evaluated in ten patients with COPD and secondary pulmonary hypertension (mean PAP 25 mm Hg), before and after 6 months therapy with pirbuterol 20 mg thrice daily. Despite the continued pharmacological action of pirbuterol on the heart and systemic circulation during peak pirbuterol levels at 6 months, no significant effect on the pulmonary circulation was observed. Seven patients reported an improvement in the level of fatigue, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide fell significantly (6.5 +/- 0.9 to 6.1 +/- 0.9 kPa: P less than 0.01) and there was a slight bronchodilator effect [forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) 0.60 +/- 0.18 to 0.71 +/- 0.2 1s-1: P less than 0.02] after 6 months. The drug was generally well tolerated but three patients with pre-existing biliary tract disease developed obstructive jaundice.
