Moderate to severe PH on routine echo is linked to ~331% higher five-year mortality.

Raised PASP on routine echo was associated with higher mortality and hospitalization in suspected HF; leaves open its role in primary-care risk stratification.

Does raised pulmonary arterial systolic pressure on routine echocardiography predict mortality and hospitalization in patients with suspected heart failure?
Hazard Ratio: 4.31 (95% CI 1.51–12.3)
p-value: p=0.003
Raised pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (≥ 36 mmHg) on routine echocardiography is an independent predictor of long-term mortality and recurrent hospitalizations in patients referred for suspected heart failure.
Nu et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Suspected heart failure (n=209). Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension (raised PASP) vs. No pulmonary hypertension was evaluated on Mortality (HR 4.31, 95% CI 1.51-12.30, p=0.003). Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension on routine echocardiography was an independent predictor of mortality (HR 4.31; 95% CI 1.51-12.30) over a minimum of five years.
