Stage 3 was sub-divided into Stage 3a (\u2264moderate pulmonary hypertension) and Stage 3b (severe pulmonary hypertension). Stage 4 was sub-divided into Stage 4a (low-flow without RV dysfunction), Stage 4b (RV dysfunction without low-flow), and Stage 4c (RV dysfunction with low-flow). The primary endpoint was all-cause death at 1\u2009year. Among 1156 eligible patients, 14 were classified as Stage 0, 38 as Stage 1, 105 as Stage 2278 as Stage 3, and 721 as Stage 4. There was a stepwise increase in mortality according to advancing stages of cardiac damage: 3.9% (Stage 0\u20131), 9.6% (Stage 2), 14.1% (Stage 3), and 17.4% (Stage 4) (P\u2009=\u20090.002).
