Pulmonary hypertension caused by systolic left ventricular dysfunction is associated with significant morbidity and mortality; however, no treatment is approved for this indication. We hypothesized that riociguat, a novel soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, would have beneficial hemodynamic effects in patients with pulmonary hypertension caused by systolic left ventricular dysfunction.
