Protocol summary

Summary
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of spironolactone and normal treatment in right ventricular function in group 1 pulmonary hypertension patients. Design: A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial based on random number table. Study population: Based on the European International Guideline, patients with group 1 pulmonary hypertension who have undergone the routine pulmonary hypertension treatment for at least three months. Inclusion criteria: Patients with group 1 pulmonary hypertension; aged between 12 and 76 years. Exclusion criteria: Eisenmenger's syndrome; congenital diseases; scleroderma, thalassemia, systemic disease, cirrhosis, cor pulmonale, renal failure; frequent readmission and receiving inotropic therapy; left systolic dysfunction; mental disabilities; pulmonary disease of asthma; and unwillingness to follow up. Sample size: 50 cases. Study intervention: The control group will receive 10-20 mg of tadalafil and 125 mg of bosentan once or twice a day for four months. The intervention group will receive 25 mg of spironolactone in addition to the standard treatment on a daily basis for four months. Study outcome: Evaluation and comparison of the control and intervention groups in terms of systolic and diastolic function of the right ventricle with echo, clinical signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation) by 6-min walk distance test, and serum NT-ProBNP levels with ELISA before and four months after treatment.
