Why the study?
Do changes in haemodynamic, functional, and biochemical parameters during follow-up predict survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension?

Changes in established predictors of outcome during the course of PAH-targeted therapy provide important prognostic information and have a higher predictive value than baseline measurements.
