What is the normal blood pressure gradient in pulmonary capillaries?

Strange question the way it's worded. Capillary pressure isn't measured. I don't know what you mean by ';gradient';. Pulmonary artery pressure is, however, measured and the norm is 14mmHg at rest. If it is %26gt;25 at rest and %26gt;30 with exercise, it's considered pulmonary hypertension. Is this what you really wanted to know?What is the normal blood pressure gradient in pulmonary capillaries?
Did you already know the answer when you asked the question???? Then what was the point? Report Abuse
