Summary: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) diagnostic criteria are currently defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg measured during a resting right heart catheterisation (RHC).

| description | Summary: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) diagnostic criteria are currently defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 mmHg measured during a resting right heart catheterisation (RHC). However, the upper limit of normal for mPAP is believed to be around 20 mmHg. Patients with mPAP >20 mmHg but <25 mmHg are considered as having “borderline” PH. The clinical and prognostic relevance of this population is not completely understood. |
