Non-Invasive Measurement of Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure by Transthoracic Echo.
Pak J Med Health Sci Jan ;13(2):222-3.

Aim: To find value of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) non-invasively using tissue Doppler and mitral inflow velocities by echocardiography in patients attending a tertiary care teaching hospital OPD or those who were admitted there . Methods : 115 patients were selected for this retrospective observational study. These patients were referred for echocardiography for various indications. The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS v 25. Result : Amongst 115 selected patients(48 males and 67 females) twenty had normal echocardiographic study. IHD with preserved EF were 23(20%) (11 males, 12 females) IHD with reduced LV ejection fraction were 3(2.63%). Fifty three patients (46.5%) were having diastolic dysfunction. PCWP average value was 17 +/- 5.86.
