Potential Clinical Impact of Revised Pulmonary Hypertension Definitions at Moderate AltitudeTake-home Points

Potential Clinical Impact of Revised Pulmonary Hypertension Definitions at Moderate AltitudeTake-home Points

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and precapillary PH definitions have been revised. Before 2018, PH was defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≥ 25 mm Hg, and precapillary PH was defined by a pulmonary vascular resistance ≥ 3 Wood units and a pulmonary arterial wedge pressure ≤ 15 mm H...
