Connective tissue diseases (CTD) are categorized as systemic inflammatory disorders characterized by autoimmune phenomena. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one of life-threatening manifestations of CTD, whose histological features are thickening of pulmonary artery walls. The treatment is often difficult, and its outcome is very poor because of progressive right ventricular failure and low cardiac output. Recently, novel drugs, including prostacyclin analogs, endothelin receptor antagonists, and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, have been developed and are available for treatment for idiopathic PAH and PAH associated with CTD. Rationales for these treatments are mainly based on results of clinical trials enrolling patients with severe PAH classified as having WHO functional class III or IV. Despite these novel options, PAH is still one of leading causes of death in patients with CTD, including systemic sclerosis and mixed connective tissue disease. Thus, significance of early intervention for these patients is now on dispute. However, there is no evidence for the efficacy of early intervention to PAH in modifying a natural course of PAH-CTD. In this study, Sildenafil is selected as a candidate drug for early intervention to PAH-CTD. As a control drug we use Beraprost, which is commonly used for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease associated with CTD in Japan. Also we analyze the effect of PAH drugs for peripheral vascular disease.
