While elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) is associated with heart failure (HF), whether PASP measurement can help predict future HF admissions is not known, especially in African-Americans, who are at increased risk for HF. We hypothesized that elevated PASP is associated with increased risk of HF admission and improves HF prediction in African-American (AA) population. We conducted a longitudinal analysis using the JHS cohort (n=3125, 32.2% men) with baseline echo-derived PASP and follow-up for HF admissions. Hazard ratio for HF admission was estimated using Cox-proportional hazard model adjusted for variables in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Community (ARIC) HF prediction model. Over median follow up of 3.46 years, 3.42% of the cohort was admitted for HF. Subjects with HF had a higher PASP (35.6 ± 11.4 mm Hg vs. 27.6 ± 6.9 mm Hg, p<0.001). The hazard of HF admission increased with higher baseline PASP (adjusted HR/10 mmHg increase in PASP: 2.03, 95% CI: 1.67-2.48; adjusted HR for highest (≥33 mmHg) versus lowest quartile (<24 mmHg) of PASP: 2.69, 95% CI: 1.43-5.06) and remained significant irrespective of history of HF, or preserved/reduced ejection fraction. Addition of PASP to the ARIC model resulted in a significant improvement in model discrimination (AUC = 0.82 before vs. 0.84 after, p = 0.03), and improved net reclassification index (11-15%), using PASP as a continuous or dichotomous (cutoff: 33 mm Hg) variable. Elevated PASP predict HF admissions in African Americans and may aid in early identification of at risk subjects for aggressive risk factor modification.
