Survival after heart transplantation (HTX) (Kaplan–Meier estimator) stratified by pre‐transplant pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) after application of a vasodilator in patients with a native pre‐transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵ (≥3.75 WU). Patients with a native pre‐transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵ (≥3.75 WU) and a remaining pre‐transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵ (≥3.75 WU) after application of a vasodilator had a worse 2 year survival after HTX than patients with a native pre‐transplant PVR ≥ 300 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵ (≥3.75 WU) and a declining pre‐transplant PVR < 300 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵ (<3.75 WU) after application of a vasodilator (P < 0.01). dyn, g·cm·s⁻²; WU, Wood unit (≙ 80 dyn·s·cm⁻⁵).
