"pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension"
"post-capillary pulmonary hypertension secondary to left-sided heart disease"
"Catheterisation can differentiate pre-capillary from post-capillary pulmonary hypertension and assess pulmonary vascular resistance. In patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, invasive assessment may be particularly useful because echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary pressures can be inaccurate 1."

"pulmonary oedema may occur when there is concomitant left-sided heart failure."

"Echocardiography"
"Right heart catheterisation"
"Acute severe right heart failure may also result in hypotension, tachycardia, cool peripheries, oliguria and other features of reduced cardiac output 3."
"Increasing right atrial and systemic venous pressures result in systemic venous congestion, including passive hepatic congestion, renal and splanchnic congestion, ascites and peripheral oedema. Through ventricular interdependence, right ventricular dilatation and raised filling pressures can compromise left ventricular preload and therefore reduce systemic cardiac output 1,2."
