Prediction of Prognostic Hemodynamic Indices in Pulmonary Hypertension Using Non-Invasive Parameters.

ABSTRACT: Effective targeted therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) requires regular risk stratification. Among many prognostic parameters, three hemodynamic indices: right atrial pressure, cardiac index, and mixed venous saturation are considered critically important for correct risk classification. All of them are measured invasively and require right heart catheterization (RHC). The study was aimed to verify assumption that a model based on non-invasive parameters is able to predict hemodynamic profile described by the mentioned invasive indices. A group of 330 patients with pulmonary hypertension was used for the selection of the best predictors from the set of 17 functional, biochemical, and echocardiographic parameters. Multiv
