A member asked:
Echo results show borderline elevated pulmonary artery pressure: 31-36mmhg. cardiologist did not mention and discharged. 19yo female. risk of disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Pulmonary pressure up to 35mmHg is NORMAL and could be higher depending on hydration status, anxiety, caffeine intake, hour of the day and another 10-15 factors. If the cardiologist was not worried, you should not worry either. Those values are normal.
