Advances in the potential of nebulized inhalation for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is a pathophysiologic manifestation of a heterogeneous group of diseases, with the main pathophysiologic mechanisms being persistent pulmonary vasoconstriction and irreversible vascular remodeling. The impact significantly affects the prognosis of patients with pulmonary hypertension. If it is not treated and intervened in time, it may lead to right ventricular failure and further endanger the patient's life. Within the past decade or so, nebulized inhalation therapy is considered to have advantages in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension as a safe, limited, and rapid therapy, for example, inhaled vasodilators (prostate analogs, nitroglycerin, carbon monoxide analogs sildenafil, and nitroprusside), inhaled anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative agents (simvastatin, and selatinib), and inhaled peroxides (levocetirizine) have been recognized as emerging therapeutic approaches in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension as emerging therapeutic approaches. Therefore, this article provides a brief review of recent advances in the potential of nebulized inhaled vasodilators, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative agents, and anti-peroxides for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, with the aim of providing different therapeutic options for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension, enhancing the quality of survival, alleviating symptoms, and improving the prognosis of patients with this condition.
