[Reversible pulmonary arterial hypertension after medication of aminorexfumarate (author's transl)]. 1977

H Simon, and R Felix

It is reported on a patient who 8 years ago and 42 developed a primary pulmonary arterial hypertension after medication with medicaiton with aminorefumarate, an antiappetizing compound whose structure is similar to ephedrine. A control measurement of the pulmonary artery pressure 8 years later showed normal values for the pressure in the right cavities and in the pulmonary artery. Beside a short term medication with nitro compounds no further medication was given. The case in one of the very few with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension where a normalization of the pulmonary artery pressure could be documented.
