Brief description/objective

With the 2022 pulmonary hypertension (PH) definition, the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) threshold for any PH was lowered from ≥25 to >20 mmHg, and the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) value to differentiate between isolated post-capillary PH (IpcPH) and combined pre- and post-capillary PH (CpcPH) was reduced from >3 Wood units (WU) to >2 WU. We assessed the impact of this change in the PH definition in aortic stenosis (AS) patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR).
