Explanation

Estimated right atrial pressure is a medical term that refers to the estimated pressure in the right upper chamber of the heart. This chamber receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs to get oxygen. The pressure is estimated because it's not directly measured, but calculated based on other factors. This estimation helps doctors understand how well the heart is working and if there are any issues that need to be addressed.
