What to do if i have increasing the left atrial pressure would have what effect on pulmonary circulation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CHF: Left atrial pressure >18 mm of mercury is called "congestive heart failure". There are many, many books written on the subject. The first question is "Why do you have CHF?" Then treatment can be directed at the underlying problem.
