Suggests PCWP may not reflect lung water after reperfusion; leaves open translation of these mechanisms to human cardiac conditions.
What factors are associated with increased extravascular lung water in cardiac tamponade versus myocardial ischemia in a canine model?
Hydrostatic pressure is a primary determinant of pulmonary edema in cardiac tamponade, but not during reperfusion after myocardial ischemia, suggesting different mechanisms of fluid accumulation.
Kitashiro et al. (1999) studied this question.
