Some of the arteries branching from the aorta include:
What conditions and disorders affect the pulmonary arteries?
Normal pulmonary artery systolic pressure at rest is 18 to 25 mm Hg, with a mean pulmonary pressure ranging from 12 to 16 mm Hg. This low pressure is due to the large cross-sectional area of the pulmonary circulation, which results in low resistance.
What does it mean when you have an enlarged pulmonary artery? Having pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) means that you have high blood pressure in the arteries that go from your heart to your lungs . With PAH, the tiny arteries in your lungs become narrow or blocked. It's harder for blood to flow through them, and that raises the blood pressure in your lungs.

Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery (IDPA) is a rare congenital defect characterized by a wider than normal main pulmonary artery in the absence of any apparent anatomical or physiological cause.
ICD-10 code I27. 20 for Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .

The problem is that enlarged pulmonary arteries can be seen with many diseases and most are not actually PAH. Echocardiography is helpful in suggesting PAH. We can estimate the pressure in the pulmonary arteries and can evaluate the size and function of the chambers and valves in your heart.
The main pulmonary artery diameter in normal subjects was 2.72 cm (SD = 0.3). Main pulmonary artery diameter in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension was significantly greater (p < 0.01) at 3.47 cm (SD = 0.33).

Pulmonary arteriosclerosis is rather a broad term given to a variety of changes in the pulmonary arteries. Anatomically three types of sclerosing processes are recognized.
Pulmonary hypertension, unspecified I27. 20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I27. 20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Having pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) means that you have high blood pressure in the arteries that go from your heart to your lungs . It's different from having regular high blood pressure. With PAH, the tiny arteries in your lungs become narrow or blocked.

Group 2: Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease: ICD-10-CM code I27. 22 (pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease) is reported for this type.
