Table 1. Hemodynamic profiles of pulmonary hypertensio.

Classification Mean pulmonary
artery pressure
Pulmonary capillary
wedge pressure
Pulmonary
vascular resistance
Isolated pre-capillary PH >20 mm Hg <15 mm Hg >3 WU
Combined pre- and post-capillary PH >15 mm Hg >3 WU
Isolated post-capillary PH >15 mm Hg <3 WU

The 6th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension defined three hemodynamic profiles of pulmonary hypertension (PH): isolated pre-capillary PH, combined pre- and post-capillary PH, and isolated post-capillary PH. WU, Wood units.
