    Anthropometric factors significantly influence pulmonary blood volume measurements in pulmonary hypertension evaluation.

  • 2

    AI-derived pulmonary blood volumes are affected by sex and age at diagnosis, with distinct impacts on arterial and venous compartments.

  • 3

    Normalization of pulmonary blood volume to anthropometrics reduces sex-related differences in measurements.

  • 4

    Larger pulmonary artery volumes correlate with higher pulmonary vascular resistance, while larger pulmonary vein volumes relate to higher cardiac output.

  • 5

    Incorporating anthropometric data enhances the predictive accuracy of pulmonary vascular resistance and cardiac output models.
