* patients with chronic dialysis were excluded from the assessment of brain natriuretic peptide; in two centres BNP was used instead of NT-proBNP. BMI—body mass index, CI—cardiac index, mPAP—mean pulmonary artery pressure, 6 MWD—six min walking distance, NT-proBNP—N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide, PAWP—pulmonary artery wedge pressure, PVR—pulmonary vascular resistance, RAA—right atrial area, RAP – right atrial pressure, WHO FC—World Health Organization Functional Class WU—Wood unit.
