36
Q

PCWP

A

Pulmonary Capilary wedge pressure

a wave: contraction of Left atrium

*usually a small deflection unless there is resistance moving blood into LV like in mitral stenosis.

c wave: rapid rise in LV pressure in early systole, causing mitral valve to bulge backward into LA, so atrial pressure increases momentarily

v wave: blood entering LA during late systole

*prominent v wave reflects mitral insufficiency causing large amounts of blood to reflux into the LA during systole
