  • REVEAL: Registry to Evaluate Early and Long-term PAH Disease Management; PAH: pulmonary arterial hypertension; WHO: World Health Organization; APAH: associated with PAH; CTD: connective tissue disease; PoPH: portopulmonary hypertension; FPAH: familial PAH; NYHA: New York Heart Association; BNP: brain natriuretic peptide; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; RAP: right atrial pressure; PVR: pulmonary vascular resistance. #: if N-terminal proBNP is available and BNP is not, listed cut-points are replaced with <300 pg·mL−1 and >1500 pg·mL−1.
