The new 2018 pulmonary hypertension (PH) definition includes a lower mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) cut‐off (>20 mmHg rather than ≥25 mmHg) and the compulsory requirement of a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ≥3 Wood units (WU) to define precapillary PH. We assessed the clinical impact of the 2018 compared to the 2015 PH definition in aortic stenosis (AS) patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR).
