A member asked:
Is there difference between pulmonary artery hypertension and rvsp? if so, is there difference in severity? my echo showed rvsp42.57 mmhg, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Need expert.: RVSP is a sign- or rather a calculation based on an echocardiogram. By itself, it doesn't mean anything. PAH is a medical condition characterized by high pressures in the pulmonary vessels. While symptom severity correlates with pressr, RVSP is calculated (estimated) & not directly measured. PAH is diagnosed based on symptoms & pressure readings on right heart catheterization. Use HealthTap Prime.
