One of the most challenging questions to answer in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is: “When is the optimal time to proceed with lung transplantation?” The current lung allocation scoring (LAS) system prioritizes donor organ resources based on severity of illness. Factors used to assign LAS do not account for known predictors of outcome for PAH patients—including determinants of right ventricular (RV) function. It has been recognized that the system places PAH patients at a distinct disadvantage, and concerted efforts are being made to correct this by considering variables that reflect RV function, specifically mean right atrial pressure (mRAP) and cardiac index (CI).
