Resumen

Desde 2009, el tadalafilo, un potente y selectivo inhibidor de la fosfodiesterasa tipo 5 (PDE5), puede representar una nueva alternativa terapéutica eficaz y segura para pacientes con hipertensión pulmonar (HP) en clases funcionales II y III de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) —como detallan las «Guías de práctica clínica para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la HP» de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología (ESC) y de la European Respiratory Society (ERS)—, en términos de beneficios en ejercicio, en retraso del deterioro clínico y en calidad de vida. Por otra parte, dado su mayor vida media, que permite su dosificación única diaria oral de 40mg, podría mejorar el cumplimiento terapéutico —facilitando una mayor adhesión al tratamiento— de los pacientes con HP.

Abstract

Tadalafil, which was commercialized in 2009, is a potent and selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, and may be a safe and effective therapeutic alternative for patients with class II and III pulmonary hypertension (PH) in the World Health Organization's classification – as stated in the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of PH of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) – providing benefits in exercise tolerance, delaying clinical deterioration and improving quality of life. Given the greater half-life of this drug, allowing a single oral dose of 40mg per day, tadalafil could improve therapeutic compliance – thus facilitating treatment adherence – among patients with PH.
