AB  - Pulmonary  hypertension  (PH)  is  a  state  of  abnormally  elevated  blood  pressure  within  the  pulmonary  arteries,  formally  defined  as  a  mean  pulmonary  artery  pressure  (mPAP)  ≥25  mmHg  measured  via  right  heart  catheterization.1  PH  is  grouped  based  on  pathophysiology  (Table  17-1).  Pulmonary  arterial  hypertension  (PAH;  group  1)  is  associated  with  the  greatest  risk  of  morbidity  and  mortality  and  usually  requires  direct  treatment  (Table  17-2).  Other  forms  of  PH  are  still  significant  but  are  more  secondary  to  other  conditions  requiring  optimization,  including  oxygen  therapy,  diuresis,  and  anticoagulation.2
