Plasma volume status (PVS) is a noninvasive estimate of intravascular volume status. We studied the utility of PVS to predict short-term outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Patients with lower PVS had decreased risk of hospitalization and death within 90 days of clinic visit, compared to those with higher PVS.
