Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance was independently associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR 1.18 per Wood unit increase) in patients with left heart disease and heart failure.

May aid risk stratification in left heart disease HF; leaves open whether reducing PVR improves outcomes.
Tatebe et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Chronic heart failure due to left heart disease (n=676). Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) vs. Lower pulmonary vascular resistance was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.03-1.35, p=0.02). Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance was independently associated with higher all-cause mortality (HR 1.18 per Wood unit increase) in patients with left heart disease and heart failure.
