Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension

High pulmonary artery pressure with a preserved wedge pressure.

Overview

Select Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension under Clinical controls → Pulmonary hypertension. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

High pulmonary artery pressure with a preserved wedge pressure.

RV and PA systolic pressures are markedly elevated.

Wedge pressure remains ≤15 mmHg in this illustrative case.

Clinical classification also requires cardiac output and pulmonary vascular resistance.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
