Searching for the least invasive parameters used as predictors of survival in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

It was also observed that the highest mortality was in the first year of diagnosis although it was not statistically significant. Thus, a wider scale study is needed for the idiopathic pulmonary hypertension patients to better assess their survival pattern.
