Plasma volume status (PVS) is a noninvasive estimate of intravascular volume status. We studied the utility of PVS to predict short‐term outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Patients with lower PVS had decreased risk of hospitalization and death within 90 days of clinic visit, compared to those with higher PVS.
