Hi @tomtodaro,
Cardiac catherization is a highly technical procedure, and involves many measurements including LVEDP; it would be best to consult with a specialist to interpret these numbers.
I'm tagging @bergem @dennisl27 @mummy12 @fr0ggie @donnac1969 @HeartPatches @cynaburst @clarisebt @mimi68 and @hopeful33250 as I'm sure they will have more insight.
@tomtodaro, may I ask if you could share a few more details; why did you need to undergo cardiac catherization? Was it done recently?

I have done the same as most of the others who looked up LVEDP on the net. I see that 24 is elevated. There is some good stuff there on Google and others for LVEDP. However, about Mildly elevated, or severely, or whatever, I almost never trust words like that. Just go with the number, and ask your cardi what it means. I think the labs and clinics do us a dis-service by using nonsense words like mildly, etc.
