title: Managing pulmonary arterial hypertension and optimizing treatment options: prognosis of pulmonary artery hypertension.
abstract: Survival in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension has improved, but outcomes are still suboptimal. Therapeutic focus must shift from short-term functional changes to improvements in long-term outcomes. Several outcome predictors, both at baseline and on therapy, offer guidance for clinicians treating pulmonary artery hypertension.
