PH, pulmonary hypertension; HPAH, heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension; mPAP, mean pulmonary artery pressure; PAWP, pulmonary artery wedge pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance; CO, cardiac output; DPG, diastolic pressure gradient (diastolic PAP—mean PAWP). +, increased; =, normal; −, decreased; ++, severely increased.
