Pulmonary hypertension encompasses a range of conditions directly or indirectly leading to elevated pressures within the pulmonary arteries. Five main groups of pulmonary hypertension are recognized, all defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure of >20 mmHg: pulmonary arterial hypertension (rare), pu...
pulmonary hypertension. PH is now defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > 20 mmHg on resting right heart catheterization and no more ≥25 mmHg (Galiè, McLaughlin, Rubin, & Simonneau, 2019). Pulmonary hypertension has been classified into five groups. The most updated...
