Peak oxygen uptake is a strong prognostic predictor for pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease

Peak oxygen uptake is a strong prognostic predictor for pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease

Abstract Background Pulmonary hypertension in left heart disease (PH-LHD), which includes combined post- and precapillary PH (Cpc-PH) and isolated postcapillary PH (Ipc-PH), differs significantly in prognosis. We aimed to assess whether cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) predicts the long-term...
