Abstract:In order to determine the value of pulmonary venous flow (PVF) pulsed Doppler measurements in assessing filling pressures in aortic stenosis (AS), we studied 20 patients by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and catheter examination. Peak systolic PVF correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) (r =‐0.67, P < 0.01), the ratio of peak systolic to diastolic PVF correlated with PCWP (r =‐0.68, P < 0.01) and left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure (r =‐0.51, P < 0.01). Peak systolic P… Show more
