CVP
Central venous pressure
CVP = 2-8
Preload (R side of heart) Volume
PCWP
pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
PCWP = 6-12
Preload (L side of Heart) volume
PCWP = PA diastolic
PA diastolic
normal = 10-20
PA diastolic = PCWP
MAP
mean arterial pressure
MAP = 70-105
CO
...
-MAP would be normal because the Left Ventricle is intact
-physical exam findings: JVD, pedal edema, hepatomegaly due to venous backup
Left Heart Failure
-↑ PCWP (L heart)
-Decreased LV function leads to pulmonary congestion (↑ PCWP)
-↓ MAP
- Physical exam findings: Crackles due to backup of fluid in the lungs
Right & Left Heart Failure (combined)
- ↑CVP & ↑ PCWP
-CHF with both ventricles or left ventricle pumping poorly will cause a backup in the
pulmonary system and may back up on the right side as well = which will elevate CVP &
PCWP
-CO/CI & BP will also be decreased
