Title: Understanding the Pathophysiology and Hemodynamic Effects of Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathological state characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs for

Identify a pathological state in detail and in your own words with any sources cited.
Explain the condition/disease and elaborate on the signs and symptoms of the condition/disease.
Explain the effect of the condition/disease on each of the selected hemodynamic values;
pulmonary artery pressure,
pulmonary wedge pressure,
cardiac output,
mean arterial pressure, and
central venous pressure.
Explain what these values mean, and what they control
How do you monitor or measure these pressures?
