Acute effects of inhaled iloprost on intracardiac conduction in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

CONCLUSION: Inhaled iloprost can improve cardiovascular performance in the presence of PAH, primarily through a reduction in right ventricular afterload and interventricular pressure. Decreased pressure on the interventricular septum and ventricles leads to conduction system normalization including of the AH interval and SNRT due to resolution of inflammation and edema.PMID:34114047 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-021-05044-z
