Clinical characteristics and prognosis in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and a concomitant psychiatric disorder

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) can cause right heart failure. A concomitant psychiatric disorder (PD) is thought to increase the risk of acute pulmonary thromboembolism; however, whether PDs are associated with deterioration in CTEPH pathophysiology is unclear. In this study,...

description Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) can cause right heart failure. A concomitant psychiatric disorder (PD) is thought to increase the risk of acute pulmonary thromboembolism; however, whether PDs are associated with deterioration in CTEPH pathophysiology is unclear. In this study, we evaluated the clinical characteristics and prognoses in patients with CTEPH and a co-existing PD. We retrospectively identified 229 consecutive patients (mean age = 58.7 ± 12.5 years; 160 women) with CTEPH and categorized them according to whether they had a PD (PD group; n = 22, 9.7%) or not (non-PD group; n = 207, 90.3%). We compared the clinical characteristics, respiratory function, hemodynamics, and clinical courses in the two groups. Those in the PD group had significantly lower exercise tolerance compared to the non-PD group (6-min walk test, 309.5 ± 89.5 m vs. 369.4 ± 97.9 m, P  = 0.008, percent vital capacity 85.5% ± 17.3% vs. 96.0% ± 15.5%, P  = 0.003) and partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2 ) (54.4 ± 8.6 mmHg vs. 59.3 ± 10.7 mmHg, P  = 0.039). Three-year survival was significantly poorer in the PD group compared to the non-PD group (66.1% vs 89.7%, P  = 0.0026, log-rank test), particularly in patients who underwent surgery (62.2% vs 89.5%, P  < 0.001, log-rank test). A concomitant PD was associated with low exercise tolerance and impaired respiratory function in patients with CTEPH and predicted poor survival, especially in those who underwent a pulmonary endarterectomy.
