Impact of the New Definition on the Prognosis of Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension Compared to the Classic Definition
The new definition increased PH diagnoses, particularly in Pre-PH and Cpc-PH, while maintaining comparable discriminative performance. Improved 5-year event-free survival observed under the new definition may be partly attributable to the inclusion of patients with milder disease. Notably, the risk progressively increased beyond mPAP >20 mmHg and PVR >2 WU, reinforcing the prognostic significance of the new thresholds.
