Background: The World Conference on PH recommended differentiation of isolated postcapillary (Ipc) and combined post- and precapillary (Cpc) PH according to pulmonary vascular resistance alone. The aim of this study was the haemodynamic and functional characterization of patients diagnosed IpcPH and CpcPH according to the current recommendation of the latest World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) with an exploratory data analysis.
Methods: We evaluated all consecutive patients presenting at the PH outpatient clinic of Mission Medical Hospital from 2008-2015.
Introduction: Anxiety and depression are common in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is reduced. Sufficient analyses in incident and prevalent patients are lacking, so we provide a comparative analysis of these groups with focus on anxiety, depression and HRQoL.
Methods: Depression, anxiety and HRQoL were retrospectively analyzed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Short Form 36 questionnaire in 91 prevalent and 21 incident PH outpatients from a German tertiary care center specialized in PH.
