A New Oasis in the Desert of Sarcoidosis: Exploring Macitentan for Pulmonary Hypertension

Imagine a vast desert landscape where a hidden oasis, representing the lungs, is threatened by a relentless sandstorm, symbolizing pulmonary hypertension (PH). This condition, often a complication of sarcoidosis, is characterized by high blood pressure in the lungs and can be a life-threatening condition. While there are currently no approved therapies specifically for sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary hypertension (SAPH), this study investigates the potential of macitentan, a drug commonly used for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), as a treatment option.
