Pssst! It's me, the website.

I just wanted to let you know that even though I'm looking quite old, I'm still a millenial.
So I just had a "New Year, New Me" moment and my resolution is to become a new and improved version of myself in a couple of weeks.
Don't worry, my wisdom won't change. You're still going to find the same useful information here. Stay tuned!

PCWP



 
How to calculate a PCWP by LVIEDT.
 

Step 1: Obtain a PWD of the LVI  Calculate the Deceleration Time (DT) which is the time from the peak velocity of the E wave to the time where the deceleration slope of the E wave crosses the zero velocity scale.  If the DT is < 150 msec then the PCWP is > 10.  If the DT is > 150 msec then the PCWP is < 10 mmHg.  A high PCWP will rapidly passively fill the left ventricle causing a sharp deceleration slope which will decrease the DT.

 
How to calculate a PCWP by PVIA and LVIA.
 
Step 1: Obtain a PWD of the LVI  The difference of the PVIA wave duration and the LVIA wave duration will be reflected by the PCWP.  A high LVEDP is reflected by a high LAP.  A high LAP will, during atrial contraction, result in an increase in back flow in the pulmonary veins which increases the duration of the PVIA wave.  A long PVIA wave, when compared to a LVIA wave duration results in a high PCWP calculation.
