Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants who die during observation6 years

The investigators aim to assess the prognostic relevance of pulmonary hemodynamics during exercise as assessed by right heart catheterization by using a multi-centre approach and to identify independent predictors of adverse events. Separate data sets will be analysed for the retrospective and prospective Evaluation.

Number of Participants undergoing lung Transplantation during observation6 years

Occurrences of lung transplantations

Number of hospitalizations

Number of Participants who develop pulmonary Hypertension as assessed by right heart catheterization6 years

Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension

Number of Participants with newly initiated pulmonary arterial Hypertension medication during observation6 years
