Risk prediction in pulmonary hypertension due to chronic heart failure: incremental prognostic value of pulmonary hemodynamics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no generally accepted comprehensive risk prediction model cooperating risk factors associated with heart failure and pulmonary hemodynamics for patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD). We aimed to explore outcome correlates and evaluate incremental prognostic value of pulmonary hemodynamics for risk prediction in PH-LHD.

Methods

Consecutive patients with chronic heart failure undergoing right heart catheterization were prospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Individual variable selection was performed by machine learning methods. Cox proportional hazards models were conducted to identify the association between variables and mortality. Incremental value of hemodynamics was evaluated based on th
