Is hospital experience with pulmonary hypertension associated with a reduced risk of major early adverse events during cardiac catheterization in children and young adults?
In children and young adults with pulmonary hypertension, higher hospital experience with the condition is associated with safer cardiac catheterization outcomes, regardless of overall catheterization volume.
Young patients with PH are a high-risk population for diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization. Hospital experience with PH is associated with reduced risk, independent of total catheterization case volume.
