Systemic Hypertension and Survival in Pulmonary Hypertension.

JAMA cardiology·October 30, 2026·PMID 42961442

Why it matters

Systemic hypertension is common in patients with PH, yet its prognostic role has been unclear. This large, global study clarifies that higher systolic pressure may reflect better right ventricular function and cardiac reserve, offering a simple bedside marker for risk stratification and monitoring in PH.
