Thanks for the ticket.
Parent term: Abnormality of pulmonary circulation @pnrobinson Question about the child terms. There are 'Pulmonary arterlial hypertension' and 'Pulmonary venous hypertension', which should be child terms. Should 'Elevated pulmonary artery pressure' HP_0004890 be a sibling?
In clinical usage, Pulmonary hypertension is used for the arterial variety. I will improve the definition and ask our pulmonary colleagues for input.
The definition is also wrong because it says arterial blood, but yhe pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. @matentzn I also see that this term is the sole child of https://hpo.jax.org/app/browse/term/HP:0004890 Probably we should merge. The phrase "pumonary hypertension" is often use also to describe diseases characterized by pulmonary arterial hypertension, see https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-hypertension/symptoms-causes/syc-20350697 So probably the best label is 'Elevated pulmonary artery pressure' because it is more clearly a phenotype. I will do some research before making changes.
Not sure why you tagged me on this :) If this is about an EQ, @nicolevasilevsky should probably deal with it!
I switched 'arterial blood' with simply blood -- the definition now seems correct
