| Title: | Effects of Ambulatory Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Exercise Induced Increases in Pulmonary Pressures | |
| Authors: | R. A. Davey (Division of Cardiology, Western University, London, ON), A. Raina, R. L. Benza (Cardiovascular Institute, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA) | |

| Time: | 6:15 – 7:15 pm Pacific Time | |
| Session: | Poster Session 2 | |
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive increases in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and subsequent reductions in cardiac output; these changes are further worsened by exercise. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) can decrease PVR and improve cardiac output in PAH patients.
In this study, the investigators looked at the effects of pulsed iNO on PVR and cardiac output in PAH patients with the CardioMEMS, an implantable hemodynamic monitoring device, both before and after exercise. Inhaled NO was delivered using Bellerophon’s proprietary INOpulse delivery system, that provides pulsed iNO in the ambulatory setting. The INOpulse delivery system is designed to be used chronically in outpatients and is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for PAH.
