[Definition and Classification of Pulmonary Hypertension]

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is characterized as a hemodynamic disorder defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) exceeding 20 mmHg at rest. Classification into distinct subtypes is guided by measurements of pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR): Precapillary PH: PAWP
