Independent association of urinary F2-isoprostanes with survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Within the past decade, biochemical markers have emerged as attractive tools to assess pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) prognosis, being noninvasive and easily repeatable.The objective of this study was to determine whether biomarkers measured at initial diagnostic right-sided heart catheterization predict 3-year all-cause mortality for incident cases of PAH independently of clinical and hemodynamic parameters.
