A pulmonary embolus segmental left lower lobe, pulmonary "RA", moderate sized pleural effusion, large hiatal hernia, moderate cardiomegaly.

Just a suggestion...someone else might have another.

?? but the question is what is pulmonary RA (for me at least) does it have to do with pressure??

was hoping someone else might know..thanks
I don't know either...I think he might be saying "artery". (nm)

I would put commas where I put above (that's me)
I googled pulmonary RA and didn't get much (nm)
