LV pressure measurements add little beyond standard hemodynamics in AMI; case-report data leave this hypothesis open for prospective testing.
Do direct left ventricular pressure measurements provide additional clinical information beyond standard hemodynamic monitoring in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Direct left ventricular pressure measurements do not provide significant additional clinical value over standard hemodynamic monitoring (PCWP, arterial pressure, cardiac output) in acute myocardial infarction.
Parmley et al. (1972) studied this question.
