Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is diagnosed when the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) is greater than 20 mm Hg. The value you mentioned, 77 mm Hg, seems to refer to a peak pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), which is significantly higher than the normal range. A healthy mPAP is typically between 11 and 20 mm Hg. Therefore, a peak PAP of 77 mm Hg is not normal and indicates a severe elevation, suggesting a serious condition of pulmonary hypertension. It's important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider for appropriate diagnosis and management.
