Pulmonary Hypertension

I am a 25 year old female and was recently diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse with thickened leaflets.  Echocardiogram showed trivial mitral regurgitation and trivial tricuspid regurgitation.  Everything else was normal, however it did show that RV systolic pressure is at 34 mmHg.  Should I be concerned about this number and does it mean that I possibly have mild pulmonary hypertension?  I was looking into some information on the internet and found that the upper normal limit for RVSP is 30 mmHg.  Could you please clear this up for me. I have no symptoms, only some mild palpitations here and there. My physician gave no indication that I have PH.

Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries.  These are the blood vessels that bring blood to the lung from the heart.  Normal pulmonary artery pressure is 25/15 mm Hg.  The mean value ranges from 12 to 16 mm Hg.  So your pulmonary artery (PA) pressure of 34 is high, without a doubt.  However since you are not having any symptoms this should simply be checked periodically over time.  Ideally you should be under the care of a cardiologist with a special interest in pulmonary hypertension.
