Résumé :

Many drugs have been tested for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension of different origins, but even the acute effects are controversial and side-effects are frequently important. In a few studies, vasodilators have been used in the long-term treatment of chronic pulmonary hypertension related to chronic lung disease (calcium channel blockers, hydralazine, nitrates); here, also, the results are inconstant and the side-effects are sometimes major. No vasodilator specific for the pulmonary circulation is presently available.
