Medication adherence and clinical outcome in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension or distal chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
In this collective, mean MPR and self-reported adherence were overall high, with 78% of patients classified as adherent. Adherent patients improved clinical outcomes contrary to non-adherent patients. Insufficient adherence and potential contributing factors should be regularly considered, especially in patients without improvement after starting disease-specific therapy.
