- Abstract
PH-LHD is the most common form of PH and is often correlated with LHD severity and prognosis.[2] Additional factors can aggravate PH-LHD, including atrial fibrillation, microvascular dysfunction, chronic congestion, pulmonary disease, and right ventricular dysfunction. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is confirmed by the presence of elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). The sixth World Symposium revised PH definition recommends a mPAP >20 mmHg on supine right heart catheterization (RHC) during resting conditions.[1] However, mPAP in isolation is not accurate enough to characterise the underlying disease.
