isoproterenol and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

isoproterenol has been researched along with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in 1 studies

Isoproterenol: Isopropyl analog of EPINEPHRINE; beta-sympathomimetic that acts on the heart, bronchi, skeletal muscle, alimentary tract, etc. It is used mainly as bronchodilator and heart stimulant.
isoprenaline : A secondary amino compound that is noradrenaline in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by an isopropyl group. A sympathomimetic acting almost exclusively on beta-adrenergic receptors, it is used (mainly as the hydrochloride salt) as a bronghodilator and heart stimulant for the management of a variety of cardiac disorders.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A progressive rare pulmonary disease characterized by high blood pressure in the PULMONARY ARTERY.

Trial Outcomes

6 Minute Walk Test

We hypothesized that carvedilol would not worsen 6 minute walk distance. (NCT01586156)

Beta-Adrenergic Receptor (Alprenolol Binding Assay)

We hypothesize that use of carvedilol in patients with PAH will increase beta- adrenergic receptor availability, and this will be measurable as a increase in alprenolol binding over time of drug use. (NCT01586156)

Cardiac Glucose Uptake in FDG-PET (Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography)

We hypothesize that use of carvedilol in patients with PAH (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension) will decrease the cardiac glucose utilization, and this will be measurable as a drop in fasting FDG-PET standardized uptake values of the heart at 6 months as compared to baseline (NCT01586156)

Echocardiogram Left Ventricular Cardiac Output

We hypothesized that carvedilol would be safe and tolerable and thus that Left ventricular cardiac output, a measure of heart function, would not decrease in participants on carvedilol. (NCT01586156)

Urinary cAMP (Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate)/Creatinine

We hypothesize that use of carvedilol in patients with PAH will increase beta adrenergic receptor function and this will be measurable as an increase in cAMP measured in the urine at 6 months in participants in dose escalation carvedilol. (NCT01586156)
