Pulmonary pressure

Pulmonary pressure

Hopefully this is not out of the scope of this forum but after a recent echo my cardio said all was fine but with the online portals now they post all test results and one can read them just enough to get scared to death especially when you don’t really know what you are looking at. So my cardio found an asd while doing my ablation and said it was exacerbating my afib but since all other metrics were in the normal range there was no need for an invasive fix. He said the determinant would be the pulmonary blood pressure. Well, on this report it said my pressure was between 30-40 which from everything I have read is considered high but according to him apparently not that high.
My question is if others have had issues with pulmonary blood pressure from an asd that exacerbates their afib and what you did about it.
Lastly, is there an online site that helps someone decipher simply the detailed results from echos and EKG’s?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
