The aim of this study was to examine the causes and outcomes of hospitalisation in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).205 consecutive hospitalisations occurring between 2000 and 2009 in 90 PAH patients were studied.The leading causes for hospitalisation were right heart failure (RHF; 56%), infection (16%) and bleeding disorders (8%). For patients with RHF, in-hospital mortality was 14% overall, 46% for patients receiving inotropes and 48% for those admitted to the intensive care unit. The predictors for in-hospital mortality were the presence of connective tissue disease (CTD) (OR 4.92), systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg (OR 4.32) and Na
