Table 2. Hemodynamic definitions of pulmonary hypertension (PH).
Definitions | Characteristics | Clinical groups# |
---|---|---|
Pre-capillary PH | mPAP > 25 mmHg PAWP ⩽ 15 mmHg PVR ⩾ 3 WU | 1, 3, 4 and 5 |
Isolated post-capillary PH (IpcPH) | mPAP > 25 mmHg PAWP > 15 mmHg PVR < 3 WU | 2 and 5 |
Combined pre- and post-capillary PH (CpcPH) | mPAP > 25 mmHg PAWP > 15 mmHg PVR ⩾ 3 WU | 2 and 5 |
