Baseline and Follow-up 6-Min Walk Distance and Brain Natriuretic Peptide Predict 2-Year Mortality in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Background Six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels at baseline and after initiation of treatment have been associated with survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Our objective was to determine the individual and additive ability of pretreatment...
