Mean ± SD.
Number (percentage) of patients.
SABP: systemic arterial blood pressure, PASP: pulmonary artery systolic pressure, PAOI: pulmonary arterial obstruction index, RV/LV: right ventricular/left ventricular, IVC: inferior vena cava, PAd: pulmonary artery diameter, and ICU: intensive care unit.
