Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Patients with Pulmonary arterial hypertension
Pulmonary arterial hypertension or non-operable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension established by right cardiac catheterization prior to inclusion in the study
|
Other: A biobank will be created from blood samples taken at admission, days 3 and days 7
A biobank will be created from the blood samples taken on admission, days 3 and 7 of admission. The prognostic value of the preselected biomarkers will be analyzed and a proteomic analysis will be performed to identify new biomarkers. The prognostic value of these new biological parameters will be compared to the usual surveillance parameters that will be collected during the follow-up (clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters) |
- time to death, circulatory assistance or emergency transplantation within 90 days following admission to intensive care unit [ Time Frame: 90 days ]The primary endpoint is a composite endpoint including death, circulatory assistance or emergency transplantation within 90 days following admission to intensive care unit
- Survival time without graft or circulatory assistance [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Survival without transplantation or circulatory assitance at 1 month
- Survival time without transplantation or circulatory assitance [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Survival ithout transplantation or circulatory assitance at 12 month
