Abstract
SVC oxygen saturation and BNP level predict hemodynamics associated with lower survival rates and may be useful as “noninvasive” markers of prognosis in epoprostenol-treated PAH patients. BNP levels have a lower sensitivity relative to specificity, and a normal BNP level did not exclude a high RAP or low PA oxygen saturation.
