LOINC description : Diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (dPAP) is used with pulmonary artery wedge pressure
(PAWP) to help distinguish post-capillary pulmonary hypertension from combined post-
and pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart failure. The diastolic
pressure gradient (DPG) is calculated as dPAP minus PAWP, and is an alternate to the
transpulmonary pressure gradient (TPG), which is calculated as the mean pulmonary
artery pressure (mPAP) minus PAWP. An elevated DPG or TPG indicates that the increase
in pulmonary pressure is not solely due to increased PAWP (post-capillary), but rather
has a pre-capillary component as well, as reflected in an dPAP/mPAP increase out of
proportion to PAWP. [PMID: 27587711];
