Clinical and Instrumental Characteristics of Newly Diagnosed Patients with Various Forms of Pulmonary Hypertension according to the Russian National Registry.

Conclusion: According to the Russian registry in patients with PAH and IPAH, the diagnosis is established at a younger age in comparison with the European registries. CTEPH patients are characterized by more severe functional status, pronounced signs of right heart failure taking into account the older age and the spectrum of comorbid pathology, which limits the possibility of surgical treatment. An increase in the number of expert centers participating in the registry is the key to improving early diagnosis of PH and optimal follow-up according to common standards in order to timely optimize therapy and reduce mortality of patients.
