Table 1.
Hemodynamic parameters in right heart catherization (RHC).
| Variable | Baseline | Riociguat (7.5mg) | Final BPAa | Follow-upb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (mmHg) | 13 | 13 | 10 | 11 |
| Pulmonary artery pressure (mmHg) | 75/23/43 | 59/23/37 | 36/11/21 | 32/14/21 |
| Right ventricular pressure (mmHg) | 73/6 | 60/9 | 37/6 | 32/5 |
| Right atrial pressure (mmHg) | 1 | 5 | 1 | 2 |
| Cardiac index (L/min/m2)c | 2.56/2.60 | 4.17 | 5.43 | 2.85 |
| Pulmonary vascular resistance (wood units) | 7.4 | 3.7 | 3.45 | 2.24 |
a
RHC was performed immediately after final BPA procedure.
b
At 6 months follow-up after final BPA.
c
Cardiac index was calculated by thermodilution method.
