Prevalence of pulmonary hypertension in mitral regurgitation and its influence on outcomes

Open Heart

Objective Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) commonly coexists with significant mitral regurgitation (MR), but its prevalence and prognostic importance have not been well characterised. In a large cohort of adults with moderate or greater MR, we aimed to describe the prevalence and severity of PHT and assess its influence on outcomes.
