Right Atrium Enlargement Predicts Supraventricular Arrhythmia Risk in PAH
Right atrium enlargement may predict the risk for supraventricular arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Long-Term Prognosis in Women vs Men With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Women with pulmonary arterial hypertension may have better long-term prognoses compared with men, potentially because of improvements in right ventricular function.
Peripheral Artery Disease, DVT Risk May Increase With Varicose Veins
Varicose veins significantly increased the risk for deep vein thrombosis and may also increase the risk for pulmonary embolism and peripheral artery disease.
Pulmonary Embolism Rule-Out Criteria Can Identify Thromboembolic Events
A 3-month risk for a thromboembolic event was assessed using a pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria strategy and compared with a conventional strategy in patients with a low clinical probability of pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary Embolism With Low Mortality Risk Treated in Outpatient Setting
Acute pulmonary embolism may be managed in an outpatient setting when the patient has a low risk for mortality.
Idiopathic PAH-Associated Hypoxemia Linked to Poor Survival, Increased Comorbidities
Hypoxemia is associated with reduced survival in patients with idiopathic or heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Peak Circulatory Power Is a Potent Predictive Tool in Idiopathic PAH
Peak circulatory may provide reliable prognostic information in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
6MWT Clinically Relevant and Appropriate Prognostic Tool for PAH
The 6MWT is a clinically relevant and appropriate target for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary Embolism Risk Prediction in Postpartum Women
Certain risk scores may not be reliable for predicting the presence of a pulmonary embolism in pregnant or postpartum women.
Two 6-Minute Walk Tests Recommended for Suspected Pulmonary Hypertension
To minimize the “learning effect” and improve accuracy, patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension should undergo two 6-minute walk tests.
