Abstract
OBJECTIVE:With the clarifying of the pathogenic mechanism of pulmonary arterial hypertension,a new endothelin receptor antagonist has become available in the market recently.The advances and clinical evaluation of endothelin receptor antagonist were discussed in this paper.METHODS:The pertinent literatures in recent years at home and abroad were reviewed.RESULTS CONCLUSION:Advance in endothelin receptor antagonist was rapid in recent years,and its inhibition on vasoconstriction of endothelin-1 and promotion on cell proliferation make it possible for treatment of arterial hypertension and cardiac insufficiency,which has become a golden drug key toward treatment for hypertensive pulmonary vascular disease.
