Key result
PA compliance between 3 and 7 ml/mm Hg is linked to lower all-cause mortality in PH.
Why the study?
Early identification of patients at risk for poor prognosis in pulmonary hypertension is crucial, and pulmonary arterial compliance may be a useful prognostic marker but requires further validation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Should not yet alter risk stratification in pulmonary hypertension; supports pulmonary artery compliance as a prognostic marker but requires prospective validation.

Wu et al. (2023) conducted a letter in Pulmonary hypertension (n=39,258). Pulmonary artery compliance (PAC) ≥ 3.0 ml/mm Hg vs. Lower pulmonary artery compliance was evaluated on All-cause mortality. Pulmonary artery compliance between 3 and 7 ml/mm Hg was associated with a protective effect against all-cause mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
