DataBase of pulmoNary hyPertesion in PoLish Population - BNP-PL
The BNP-PL is a multicenter, observational study in which patients are prospectively followed in order to investigate clinical course and management of pulmonary hypertension in Poland. All patients diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension confirmed in right heart catheterization, will be eligible to participate in the study.
⁃ Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension diagnosed after 1st March 2018 (incident cases) who:
• are aged \> 3 months at the time of enrollment
• fulfill the following hemodinamic criteria: mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of 25 mm Hg or more, mean pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) or left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (PVEDP) of 15 mm Hg or less, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 3 Woods.
⁃ Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension diagnosed before 1st March 2018 (prevalent cases) who:
