Sex differences of hemodynamics during acute vasoreactivity testing to predict the outcomes of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

ConclusionHemodynamics during the AVT varied between male and female patients with CTEPH. Both sexes displayed unique hemodynamic responses that were independently able to predicted event ‐free survival. Therefore, better estimates of prognosis in CTEPH can be made when sex differences are also taken into consideration.
