Popis: Pulmonary vasoreactivity testing (PVT) with low dose adenosine predicts the clinical response to calcium channel blocker therapy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While higher dose adenosine PVT predicts the hemodynamic response to prostacyclin therapy (PGI2) after 1 year, it
