Baseline Characteristics and Follow up in Patients with Normal Hemodynamics vs. Borderline Mean Pulmonary Arterial Pressure in Systemic Sclerosis — Results from the PHAROS Registry

摘要

BackgroundPatients with normal (mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≤20 mmHg) and borderline mean pulmonary pressures (mPAP) (boPAP; 21–24 mmHg) are “at risk” of developing pulmonary hypertension(PH). The objectives of this analysis were 1)to examine the baseline characteristics in systemic sclerosis(SSc) with Normal and boPAP, and 2) to explore long term outcomes in SSc patients with boPAP vs. Normal hemodynamics.
