Two male patients with PAH associated with connective tissue disease were included in the all-patient group: one patient had bosentan monotherapy, one had pre-existing prostanoid treatment at baseline, they were 8 and 10 year old at initiation and also at diagnosis, they weighted 22 and 43 kg, PAPm was 38 and 54 mmHg.
Most recent right heart catheterization (RHC) within 3 months of bosentan initiation.
