Why the study?
Does elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (>5 WU) predict mortality in COPD patients?
Does elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (>5 WU) predict mortality in COPD patients?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
A pulmonary vascular resistance >5 WU is a strong independent predictor of mortality in patients with COPD, identifying those with severe pulmonary vascular disease.
PVR >5 WU proved to be the strongest independent haemodynamic predictor of mortality in COPD patients. This threshold may best identify COPD patients with severe pulmonary vascular disease.https://bit.ly/3v4QE96
