METHOD FOR DETERMINING RISK OF UNFAVOURABLE CLINICAL OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY HYPERTENSION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B5/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves determining a period of time from the onset of symptoms to establishing a diagnosis (t); a functional class is rated at the time of establishing the diagnosis (FCinit); a cardiac output is calculated at the time of establishing the diagnosis (CO); an acute pharmacological test (APT) coefficient (X) is calculated as follows: (APT-)=0, (APT+)=1, (APT++)=2. A risk of the unfavourable clinical outcome in the patients suffering from idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (H) is calculated by an original formula. If the value H ≤0.35, a low risk is stated; H=0.36-0.55 shows a moderate risk, whereas H≥0.56 is a sign of a high risk of the unfavourable clinical outcome.

EFFECT: method enables the high-reliability detection of the unfavourable clinical outcome in the patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, the determination of rates of the disease progression for the purpose of prescribing an adequate therapy.
