Contribution of QRS Prolongation to Transplant-Free Survival in Sarcoidosis-Related Pulmonary Hypertension

Patients with borderline pulmonary hypertension (PH) often experience shortness of breath or exacerbation of PH during exercise, known as exercise-induced PH. However, the pathogenesis of exercise-induced post-capillary PH (post-EIPH) and its treatment strategies remain unclear.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes distant organ dysfunction through yet unknown mechanisms, leading to multiorgan failure and death.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with adverse outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
