In severe AS, a higher number of IpcPH patients are diagnosed by the 2018 definition, even though they have the same prognosis as those without PH. Patients with true precapillary PH are more accurately identified by the 2018 definition that includes a pulmonary vascular disease criterion, that is, PVR ≥3 WU, a strong mortality predictor.
