Systematic Review
Does the presence of pulmonary hypertension predict hospitalisations for heart failure and mortality in patients with left heart disease?
Pulmonary hypertension is a consistent predictor of increased mortality and heart failure hospitalisation in patients with left heart disease.
Dzudié et al. (2014) conducted a systematic review in Pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease. Pulmonary hypertension was evaluated on Hospitalisations for heart failure and mortality. Pulmonary hypertension is consistently associated with increased mortality risk in all forms of left heart disease, except for aortic valve disease.
