Abstract
In an outpatient COPD population where LV disease was thoroughly excluded, we observed that only PaO2 was a significant predictor of mPAP. PaO2 at rest and peak exercise below 9.5Â kPa (71Â mmHg) and 8.5Â kPa (64Â mmHg), respectively, indicates the need for further evaluation of coexisting PH.
