Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is associated with stiffening of pulmonary arteries which increases right ventricular pulsatile loading. High pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) in postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (Pc-PH) further decreases pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC) at a given pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) compared with precapillary pulmonary hypertension, thus responsible for a higher total arterial load. In all other vascular beds, arterial compliance is considered as mainly determined by the distending pressure, due to non-linear stress-strain behaviour of arteries. We tested the applicability, advantages and drawbacks of two comparison methods of PAC depending on the level of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP; isobaric PAC) or PVR. Right heart catheterisation data including PAC (stroke volume/pulse pressure) were obtained in 112 Pc-PH (of whom 61 had combined postcapillary and precapillary pulmonary hypertension) and 719 idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH). PAC could be compared over the same mPAP range (25–66 mmHg) in 792 (95.3%) out of 831 patients and over the same PVR range (3–10.7 WU) in only 520 (62.6%) out of 831 patients. The main assumption underlying comparisons at a given PVR was not verified as the PVR×PAC product (RC-time) was not constant but on the contrary more variable than mPAP. In the 788/831 (94.8%) patients studied over the same PAC range (0.62–6.5 mL·mmHg −1 ), PVR and thus total arterial load tended to be higher in iPAH. Our study favours comparing PAC at fixed mPAP level (isobaric PAC) rather than at fixed PVR. A reappraisal of the effects of PAWP on the pulsatile and total arterial load put on the right heart is needed, and this point deserves further studies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
