A member asked:
My lung pressure is 55 now, is that still pulmonary hypertension?

Indication : Elevated pulmonary artery pressure (like 50 mm hg) is highly suggestive of pulmonary hypertension but not diagnostic. For diagnosis, you need a heart catheterization.

Yes: Not sure but i would assume it was by measured by echo and it would be the right ventricular systolic pressure which would be high at 55 mmhg, i.e. Pulmonary hypertension.
