Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Determine treatment escalation threshold in pulmonary arterial hypertension based on mPAP, PVR, and NYHA functional class

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • MPAP — The mpap recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • PVR — The pvr recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • NYHA functional class — The nyha functional class recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pah mpap threshold result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the mPAP, PVR, NYHA functional class for the scenario you are assessing. Determine treatment escalation threshold in pulmonary arterial hypertension based on mPAP, PVR, and NYHA functional class. Use the pah mpap threshold result to inform your calculation.
