Mortality Risk Increased With Pulmonary Vascular Resistance ≥2.2
For patients undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC), the risks for mortality and heart failure are increased with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 2.2 Wood units or more.

BPA, Pulmonary Vasodilators Found to Improve Outcomes in Inoperable Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty and pulmonary vasodilators were both found to improve functional and hemodynamic outcomes in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
Risk Stratification for Survival in PAH With vs Without Comorbidities
Risk stratification for survival and time to clinical worsening in pulmonary arterial hypertension based on 2015 ESC/ERS guidelines was confirmed only in patients without comorbidities.
Worsening Shortness of Breath in Patient With Hypertension, Afib
A 72-year-old man with hypertension and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presents to the emergency department because he has been experiencing worsening shortness of breath.
Single-Beat Approach Estimates Preload Recruitable Stroke Work Relationship in PAH
A single-beat estimation of preload recruitable stroke work and its coupling with pulmonary arterial load in pulmonary arterial hypertension provided high accuracy for evaluating right ventricular contractility.
