Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria were as follows: thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, hemodynamic instability including cardiac index less than 2.2 L/min/m2 and systolic blood pressure less than 80mmHg, or having symptoms associated with low cardiac output at rest.

Age minimum: Not applicable
Age maximum: Not applicable
Gender: Male and Female
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
plumonary arterial hypertension
Intervention(s)
Nicardipine was administered by short-time continuous infusion (1 microg/kg/min for 5 min and 2 microg/kg/min for 5 min) followed by bolus injection (5 microg/kg). Hemodynamic responses were continuously measured using a right heart catheter.Hemodynamic responses were continuously measured before, during and after administration of nicardipine using an RHC. SaO2 (saturation of arterial blood) and SPAO2 (saturation of pulmonary arterial blood) were measured to calculate cardiac output every 5 minutes.
Primary Outcome(s)
safety of acute vasoreactivity testing with nicardipine in PAH patients
Secondary Outcome(s)
Whether can acute vasoreactivity testing with nicardipine identify patients with sustained beneficial response to oral calcium channel blockers.
