- : Globally and locally, CpcPH-HFpEF is the most common form of PH. This disease is associated with a high morbidity and mortality, but effective treatments are not yet available. Therefore we propose this study to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor in patients with combined post- and pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (CpcPHHFpEF). The primary objective will be the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure-related hospitalizations (adjudicated). Key secondary endpoints include safety, exercise capacity and quality of life.
