Popis: Surveillance of the pulmonary arterial (PA) and capillary wedge (PCW) pressures in coronary care units has been widely accepted as a safe and valuable procedure in the clinical management of acute myocardial infarction.1,2 The PA and PCW pressures provide a reasonable index of the left ventricular performance and serve as a useful guide in the therapeutic management of the patient. Work was undertaken for this report to determine if additional useful information could be derived from these measurements with a pulmonary arterial pressure method for estimating the right ventricular stroke volume.
