A member asked:

My echo states borderline pulmonary hypertension with 36 rsvp, and elevated rap based on ivc diameter. can these numbers fluctuate, are they related?

Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

These numbers can: fluctuate and are both related and dependent to some part on the level of hydration of the patient. Discuss these findings with your health care provider to see if this is pertinent for you and your current health conditions or not something to take into concern.
