Summary
Bosentan has been largely used in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH). It can improve exercise capacity, lower Borg dyspnoea score nad these effects are usually associated with the concomitant improvement in cardiopulmonary haemodynamics. No physiological study has so far verified the hypothesis that Bosentan may laso have an effect on the "respiratory side" of the cadio-pulmonary system (i.e. on pulmonary mechanics and work of breathing)
