Background: The Registry to EValuate Early And Long-term pulmonary arterial hypertension disease management (REVEAL Registry) was established to provide updated characteristics of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and to improve diagnosis, treatment, and management.Methods: Fifty-four US centers enrolled consecutively screened patients with World Health Organization group I PAR who met expanded hemodynamic criteria of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) > 25 mm Hg at rest (30 mm Hg with exercise), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) = 240 dynes.s.cm(-5). Patients meeting the traditional hemodynamic definition (PCWP
