Background: Hospitalizations in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are common and are often for cardiac conditions. Using the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS), we examined characteristics and mortality of primary cardiac hospitalizations in PAH from 2001 to 2014. Methods: Adult hospitalizations with any diagnosis code for PAH were identified. Primary cardiac disease was defined as a primary discharge diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary heart disease, coronary atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, dysrhythmia, conduction disorder, cardiomyopathy or carditis, heart valve disorder, or cardiac arrest. Temporal trends, characteristics, and in-hospital mortality were analyzed. Results: From 2001 to 2014, there were 207,095 hospitalizations in PAH, of which 100,509 (48.5%) carried a primary cardiac diagnosis. Most primary cardiac hospitalizations in PAH were for CHF, and pneumonia was the most common primary non-cardiac diagnosis. Over the study period, primary cardiac hospitalizations in PAH fell from 52.9% to 41.4% (p < 0.001). CHF was the most frequent primary cardiac diagnosis associated with death, with sepsis representing the most common primary non-cardiac disease (1,226; 25.0%). Overall, the mortality in primary cardiac hospitalizations in PAH was 5.3% (vs. in primary non-cardiac, 6.9%, p < 0.001). On multi-variable analysis, a primary cardiac discharge diagnosis remained associated with a decreased risk of death (odds ratio 0.85, p = 0.010). Conclusion: Primary cardiac hospitalizations in PAH are common and are associated with decreased mortality compared to admissions for primary non-cardiac diagnoses.
