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.

We aimed to characterise the association of pulmonary hypertension due to hypoventilation and exercise capacity, and the haemodynamic and functional changes under noninvasive ventilation. A retrospective analysis was carried out to assess haemodynamics and functional capacity in 18 patients with daytime pulmonary hypertension, due to hypoventilation, at baseline and after 3 months of noninvasive ventilation. Patients presented with a mean±SD pulmonary artery pressure of 49±13 mmHg, preserved cardiac index (3.
