PH was defined as meeting any of the following criteria at enrollment: mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) greater than 25mmHg at rest on right heart catheterization; right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) greater than 40mmHg on echocardiogram; reported history of PH. A statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found between the PH and no PH groups in the following categories: age, diffusion capacity (DLCO), supplemental oxygen use, St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score, Short Form-12 Mental Component Summary, and history of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, untreated sleep apnea or chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) (Table 1).
