Data are presented as n. PH: pulmonary hypertension; VUMC: Vanderbilt University Medical Center; ICD: International Classification of Disease; RHC: right heart catheterisation; mPAP: mean pulmonary arterial pressure; Pc-PH: pre-capillary PH; Ipc-PH: isolated post-capillary PH; Cpc-PH: combined pre- and post-capillary PH. #: the numbers sum to greater than the total number of patients included in the study, as patients could belong to more than one time interval, e.g. if they had an ECG within 1 month of RHC and another ECG 36 months before RHC; : dyspnoea ICD code on or before an eligible ECG and the diagnostic RHC/echocardiogram (for PH patients) or the last screening RHC/echocardiogram (for control patients).
