Association of pulmonary hypertension-targeted therapy and survival in precapillary pulmonary hypertension with mean pulmonary arterial pressure between 21 and 24 mmHg

INTRODUCTION: The definition of pulmonary hypertension (PH) was recently changed and led to a new subset of PH patients with mildly impaired pulmonary haemodynamics, characterised by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of 21-24 mmHg and with a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >2 WU. We evaluated the association of PH-targeted therapy and outcome in mild precapillary PH using the PVRI GoDeep meta-registry. METHODS: All patients with mild precapillary PH (mPAP 21-24 mmHg, pulmonary arterial wedge pressure
