Remember that an echo gives an estimate of the pressures of the pulmonary artery. The most accurate results would be from a right heart catheterization. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs, it isn't directly related to the pressure reading that you get from a cuff on your arm. Do you recall what the pressures were, also what did the doc think?
