Prognostic role of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Conclusions: Patients with IPAH are characterized by an altered profile of lipid and glucose metabolism. Lowered levels of LDL-C and HDL-C and increased TG/HDL-C ratio correlate with disease severity and together with elevated plasma glucose level predict poor survival in IPAH. PMID: 31749867 [PubMed]
