Haemodynamic Effects of Apelin Agonists and Antagonists in Man in COPD With Raised Pulmonary Artery Pressures
Haemodynamic Effects of Apelin Agonists and Antagonists in Man in COPD With Raised Pulmonary Artery Pressures.
The investigators are interested in studying how Pulmonary Hypertension occurs. A substance called 'apelin', that naturally occurs in the body has been shown to have an important role in heart disease. Previous studies have shown that it can make blood vessels get wider, and help blood flow around the body and thus improve the way the heart and lungs work.
The investigators are looking to recruit both healthy and COPD pulmonary hypertension patients to study 3 types of apelin. The purpose of this study is to help the investigators understand how Pulmonary Hypertension occurs which may will help with the development of future treatments.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
The purpose of this study:
To investigate the physiological role of apelin in the cardiovascular system in patients with COPD with raised pulmonary artery pressures.
Study Aim and hypotheses:
The primary objective is to test the above hypotheses using forearm blood flow and systemic infusions of apelin peptides.
Hypotheses:
- Apelin agonists are vasodilators in human resistance vessels and this effect will be altered in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
- Apelin peptides improve right ventricular and pulmonary haemodynamics in patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
Study 1a - A validation dose study of 3 apelin agonists performed in healthy volunteers and COPD patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
Study 1b- A validation dose study of apelin receptor antagonist, in healthy volunteers and COPD patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
Study 2a - To define the haemodynamic response to apelin agonists in healthy volunteers and evaluate the response.
Study 2b - To investigate the haemodynamic response to 3 apelin agonists in COPD patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressures.
