Identification of Cardiac MRI and Bio-Marker Thresholds for One-Year Survival in Pre-Capillary Pulmonary Hypertension: Prospective Study.

Conclusions: Impaired RV systolic function and LV global longitudinal strain, decrease of pulmonary artery distensibility, and CTD-PAH etiology, together with high NT-proBNP level, impair prognosis in pre-capillary PH patients. These findings are important for the risk stratification and management of pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension patients.
