Relationship of the Pulmonary Artery End- Diastolic Pressure to the Left Ventricular End-Diastolic and Mean Filling Pressures in Patients With and Without Left

The relationship of the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and the pulmonary arterial "wedge " mean pressure (PAWMP) to the pulmonary artery end-diastolic pressure (PAEDP) was investigated by cardiac catheterization in 71 subjects. Pressure records were obtained simultaneously or immediately consecutively. In 15 subjects with normal LV function (LVEDP, 4 to 12 mm Hg) PAEDP was withi
