PASP: Pulmonary artery systolic pressure. PASP clinical categories were defined as: normal (≤ 30 mmHg), mildly elevated (31–45 mmHg), moderately elevated (46–60 mmHg), and severely elevated (>60 mmHg). Odds ratio describes the odds of clinical category misclassification between the subgroup and the remainder of the cohort excluded from the subgroup. Bias and 95% limits of agreement calculated with Bland-Altman method and r value represents Pearson correlation between invasively and non-invasively determined PASP within the subgroup.
represents significant p Value.
