In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare, progressive, and potentially life-threatening disease characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and right ventricular dysfunction. The endothelin pathway plays a central role in its pathophysiology and is targeted by endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs), including ambrisentan and bosentan. Ambrisentan is a selective ETA receptor antagonist, whereas bosentan blocks both ETA and ETB receptors. Although transitions between ERAs occur in clinical practice, evidence regarding the clinical impact of switching from ambrisentan to bosentan remains limited. ACTION is a retrospective, observational, single-center cohort study evaluating adult patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (World Health Organization Group 1) and/or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (World Health Organizati
