C-reactive protein: a new predictor of adverse outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Our aim was to investigate in a prospective study a potential role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting the outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). ⋯ This is the first evidence of a role of an inflammatory marker, such as CRP, in predicting outcome and response to therapy in PAH.
