    Citation Excerpt :

    It is critical to know what the pulmonary resistance is, or more accurately, the gradient between diastolic PAP and mean PCWP, because that value is less dependent upon blood flow, stroke volume, and change in PCWP itself, but will reflect changes in compliance and distensibility of the pulmonary arteries. In fact, tests have shown that there is a high gradient between PAP and mean PCWP (over 5 mm Hg) in approximately one-half of all patients with heart failure (47–50). This implies, on a physiological level, that PAP measurement alone may be an inaccurate indicator of LVEDP for many patients with heart failure, especially for those who also experience contributing factors, such as lung disease and thromboembolism.
