Does follow-up pulmonary vascular resistance predict transplant-free survival in patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension?
Evaluation of hemodynamic status, specifically follow-up PVR, shortly after initiating treatment can help predict long-term transplant-free survival in patients with I/H-PAH.
Follow-up PVR was an independent predictor of transplant-free survival in patients with I/H-PAH. Evaluation of haemodynamic status shortly after initiating treatment may help predict long-term prognosis.
