Parameters for the diagnosis (left) and risk assessment (prognosis; right) in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Blue: diagnosis according to European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines3; red: included in risk model of the ESC/ERS guidelines3; violet: not included in risk model of ESC/ERS guidelines.3 BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CI, cardiac index; mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; mPAWP, mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure; 6 MWD, 6-minute walking distance; NT-proBNP, N-terminal-proBNP; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; PE, pericardial effusion; peak VO2, peak oxygen consumption; RA, right atrium; RAP, right atrial pressure; RV, right ventricle; SVI, stroke volume index; VE/VCO2 slope, slope of the minute ventilation to CO2 production relationship.
