Description

PULMONARY HYPERTENSION (PH) = RESTING MEAN PULMONARY ARTERY PRESSURE (MPAP) > 20 MMHG.

The World Health Organization recognizes five groups of pulmonary hypertensions:

• • Estimated that > 50% of patients with left heart disease are also affected by pulmonary hypertension.1
• 1 in 4 Americans will develop heart failure in their lifetime.
• Gold standard for diagnosis of PH is a right heart catheterization (RHC).3
• Global burden of PH remains unknown as this illness is poorly surveilled and cases remain underestimated.4,5
