[73] Phosphodiesterase
inhibitors such as amrinone (Inocor) and milrinone (Primacor) have been
developed over the last 10 years. Amrinone ultimately became the
marketed drug Inocor, which is currently used to treat congestive heart
failure. Vasodilators such as
nifedipine, hydralazine, and amrinone have been administered to patients
with ILD, as well as to others with pulmonary hypertension and cor
pulmonale, with varying degrees of success. |
