NPPB and heart disorder: PH complicated with left heart disease (OR = 4.365, CI: 1.306–14.591), elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level (OR = 1.051, CI:1.015–1.088), and sPAP level estimated by echocardiography (OR = 1.021; CI: 1.003–1.040) were independently associated with MACE in multivariable regression (P < 0.05).
