Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is common in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Although Eisenmenger syndrome may be on decline, other types of PAH-CHD are increasing and little is known on long-term outcome of this population. We report the PAH-CHD population of Spain via a national registry with focus on long-term survival. A total of 240 consecutive patients (age 37.7 ± 14.1 years, 67.9% females) with PAH-CHD included in the REHAP registry were analysed. Patients were classified into 3 groups: 1) Eisenmenger syndrome, 2) postoperative-PAH and 3) PAH associated with small defects. Over a median follow-up time of 4.5[1.6-7.1]years, 50 patients (20.8%) died or underwent lung/heart-lung transplantation. Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome had better survival than postoperative-PAH (HR 0.1 95% CI: 0.2-0.9, p=0.048) but no advantage compared to small defects (HR 4.4, 95% CI 0.6-31.4, p=0.15). In the overall PAH-CHD population, patients in NYHA functional class III-IV had a 3-fold increased risk of death (HR 3.0, 95% CI: 1.5-5.9, p=0.001). Amongst patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, a pre-tricuspid shunt had a 2.6-fold increase risk of death (HR 2.6, 95% CI: 1.2-5.6, p=0.03). There was no significant difference in s...Continue Reading
