This study explores the prognostic utility of pulmonary arterial capacitance (PAC) in a diverse cohort of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) from a tertiary referral center and compares it with the prognostic utility of other hemodynamic parameters. PAC is a strong independent predictor of mortality in patients with PAH.
本研究在一家三级转诊中心的不同肺动脉高压(PAH)患者队列中探讨了肺动脉电容(PAC)的预后效用,并将其与其他血流动力学参数的预后效用进行比较。PAC是PAH患者死亡率的强有力独立预测指标。
