Supports PA diastolic pressure as LVEDP surrogate in IHD; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does pulmonary artery diastolic pressure accurately reflect left ventricular end diastolic pressure in patients with ischaemic heart disease?
Pulmonary artery pre 'a' pressure accurately reflects left ventricular end diastolic pressure in patients with ischemic heart disease, providing a reliable hemodynamic surrogate.
Balcon et al. (1972) studied this question.
