Background. Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a severe disease that affects the vessels of the pulmonary circulation and leads to right ventricular failure and death of patients. Indicators of hemodynamics and oxygen transport play central role in the progression and development of the disease. Objective: to evaluate indicators of hemodynamics, oxygen transport. Materials and methods. The study included 124 patients with IPAH. They were divided into two groups: alive patients (group 1) and those who died (group 2). All of them underwent general clinical examinations, a 6-minute walk test, transthoracic and speckle tracking echocardiography, right heart catheterization, blood gas analysis and calculation of hemodynamic parameters. Results. We calculated and compared the right (RVSWI) (19.93 ± 7.84 vs. 16.47 ± 4.67 g·m·m–2, p = 0.009) and left ventricular stroke work index (LVSWI) (39.47 ± 10.53 vs. 35.92 ± 11.19 g·m·m–2, p = 0.036) and their ratio (RVSWI/LVSWI) (0.59 ± 0.16 vs. 0.46 ± ± 0.13, p = 0.008), right (RVPC) (97.00 ± 2.16 vs. 1.82 ± 1.04 g·m, p = 0.001) and left ventricular pump coefficient (LVPC) (5.36 ± 4.84 vs. 4.41 ± 2.15 g·m, p = 0.04) and their ratio (RVPC/LVPC) (0.54 ± 0.19 vs. 0.44 ± 0.11, p = 0.05) in both groups of patients. Also, we found differences in partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) of venous blood (34.5 ± 5.1 vs. 40.2 ± 6.9 mm Hg, p = 0.02), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) of arterial blood (90.2 ± 15.1 vs. 78.9 ± 11.2 mm Hg; p = 0.01), arteriovenous oxygen difference (A-vO2) (4.5 ± 1.2 vs. 5.0 ± 0.8 ml/dL, p = 0.02) between both groups. Conclusions. RVSWI, LVSWI, RVSWI/LVSWI, RVPC, LVPC, RVPC/LVPC were significantly different between the groups. The use of the above hemodynamic parameters can help in a deeper understanding of the prognosis in IPAH patients. Performance of oxygen transport indicators (PaCO2, PaO2) and A-vO2 in IPAH patients provides a broader understanding of the status and prognosis of this disease.
