The term pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) implies a patient subset with pre-capillary PH, being levels of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) =15 mm Hg and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) N3 Wood units (WU) [1]. A greater understanding of the disease has led to important therapeutic advances [2]. Yet the mean survival rates of PAH patients at 1, 3, 5 and 7 yrs have been recently estimated at 91%, 74%, 65% and 59%, respectively [3]. Identification of valid predictors of survival is thus of paramount importance to help in monitoring these patients and guiding their treatment...2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/6148510.1016/j.ijcard.2015.03.155http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/61485oai:zaguan.unizar.es:61485INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY 186 (2015), 32-34by-nc-ndhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
