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.
The symptoms of pulmonary vascular disease vary according to several factors:

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.

514 - Pulmonary congestion and hypostasis. ICD-10-CM.
However, changes in the cells that line the pulmonary arteries can cause the walls of the arteries to become stiff, swollen and thick. These changes may slow down or block blood flow through the lungs, causing pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is classified into five groups, depending on the cause.
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.
ICD-10 code: I51. 7 Cardiomegaly | gesund.bund.de.
Pulmonary hypertension due to left-sided heart disease (PH-LHD), classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) into group 2 pulmonary hypertension, is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension and is associated with impaired exercise capacity and reduced survival.
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.
I51. 7 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 I51. 7 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code J81. 0 for Acute pulmonary edema is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
