Noninvasive Prediction of Elevated Wedge Pressure in Pulmonary Hypertension Patients Without Clear Signs of Left‐Sided Heart Disease: External Validation of the OPTICS Risk Score [PDF]
Background Although most newly presenting patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) have elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure, identification of so‐called postcapillary PH can be challenging.

Hemodynamic markers independent of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure can discriminate between pre and postcapillary exercise‐induced pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
The discrimination between pre and postcapillary exercise‐induced pulmonary hypertension relies on accurate measurement of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, which can be unreliable.

Comparison of Central Venous Pressure, Diastolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure and Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure as Estimates of Left Atrial Pressure [PDF]
Background: To evaluate the left heart function, left atrial pressure(LAP) has been monitored directly via LA catheter and indirectly via Swan-Ganz catheter. But indirect pressure monitor cannot often reflect the LAP precisely. We compared the LAP via LA catheter with central venous pressure(CVP), diastolic pulmonary artery pressure(DPAP) and pulmonary

Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure Formula Using Echocardiography Finding
This study aims to introduce a new formula for pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) derived from the pathophysiology of Velocity A (VA) waves. The current formula is the the Nagueh formula. Left ventricular (LV) filling is described as a velocity A (VA)

Long-term prognostic importance of a single pulmonary wedge pressure measurement after myocardial infarction: A ten-year follow-up study [PDF]
To assess the influence on short- and long-term survival of haemodynamic variables measured after acute myocardial infarction, a 10-year prospective follow-up study was undertaken.
