Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mm Hg at rest or more than 30 mm Hg during exercise shows significant pulmonary vascular resistance leading to right heart failure if not treated/controlled.

Opsumit is an Endothelin receptor antagonist and delays disease progression in pulmonary arterial hypertension.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
