All patients were commenced on initial monotherapy with an endothelin receptor antagonist(n=66) or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor(n=16). At first re-evaluation, 6MWD increased by 46 m(IQR7-96) and 35% demonstrated improvement in NYHA functional class. After a median follow-up of 65 months (IQR32-101), 18/82(22.0%) had died, with estimated 1-yr and 5-yr survivals of 98% and 84%, respectively. Death attributed to PAH occurred in 6/18(33.3%) of these patients (7% of total cohort).Patients with precapillary PH and "borderline" PVR falling outside the current definition have adverse outcomes. Such patients appear to respond to PAH therapy however this requires further study in randomised trials. Copyright ©ERS 2020.IMPORTANCE Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been declared a global pandemic with significant morbidity and mortality since first appearing in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. As many countries are grappling with the onset of their epidemics, pharmacotherapeutics remain lacking. The window of opportunity to mitigate downstream morbidity and mortality is narrow but remains open. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is crucial to the homeostasis of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2 utilises and interrupts this pathway directly, which could be described as the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-SARS-CoV-2-axis (RAAS-SCoV-axis). There exists significant controversy and confusion surrounding how anti-hypertensive agents might function along this pathway. This review explores the current state of knowledge regarding the RAAS-SCoV-axis, informed by prior studies of SARS-CoV, how this rlternative approach is the modulation of the specific downstream pathophysiologic effects caused
