About This Pulmonary Hypertension Study in Baltimore

The investigators' central hypothesis is that early combination therapy with two PAH-specific oral therapies that have been shown to be well tolerated in the pediatric population, sildenafil and bosentan, will result in better World Health Organization (WHO) functional class at 12 months after initiation of PAH treatment than therapy with sildenafil alone.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Children who have not been treated with long-term targeted PAH drug therapy, which include calcium channel blockers (CCB); prostanoids, endothelin receptor antagonists (ERA) or PDE-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) (note that agents used for vasoreactivity testing during cardiac catheterization, or for acute periprocedural stabilization will be discontinued prior to study enrollment these include inhaled nitric oxide and/or prostacyclin analogs) a. Children who have been receiving subtherapeutic dosing of sildenafil (and no other standing therapy) for less than 2 weeks at the time of their referral for evaluation at a PH Center, may be included after a washout period of two days. Subtherapeutic is defined as dosage less than those shown in Section 6.1.2 sildenafil dosing chart. If, prior to the initial diagnostic cardiac catheterization, the independent clinical practitioner is planning to stop low dose sildenafil that is judged to not have therapeutic impact on hemodynamics b
