As patients with left heart disease and PH have a worse prognosis than those without, it has been assumed that improving the PA pressure should translate into an improved prognosis and survival.[phaonlineuniv.org]
Prognosis The prognosis for left-sided heart failure varies, depending on the cause of the condition and severity of the symptoms. Some will improve with treatment and lifestyle changes. For others, left-sided heart failure can be life-threatening.[baptisthealth.com]
