  • Data are presented for 6-min walk distance (6MWD) % predicted, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DL,CO) % pred and oxygen saturation at 6 min versus presence of pulmonary hypertension as determined by right heart catheterisation. Receiver operating characteristic curves from which these data were obtained are shown in figure 3.
