Figure 1.
Resistance-compliance (RC) time remains fixed in combined postcapillary and precapillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) after fluid challenge in cohort A. In cohort A, baseline RC times are different between PAH, CpcPH, and isolated postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (IpcPH; all P < 0.0001). After fluid challenge, RC time remains fixed in patients with PAH or CpcPH (P > 0.05) but is significantly reduced in patients with IpcPH (P < 0.0005). Data presented as a Tukey box plot.
