Prognosis and Treatment With Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitors in Combined Post‐ and Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: A Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis From the Hellenic Pulmonary Hypertension Registry [PDF]
Combined post‐ and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH) comprises the most severe form of postcapillary PH. A severe precapillary component (pulmonary vascular resistance [PVR] > 5 WU) is critical for therapeutic decisions.
