Hemodynamics of the diastolic pressure gradients in acute heart failure: implications for the diagnosis of pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension in left heart disease
The diastolic pressure gradient (DPG) has been proposed as the metric of choice for the diagnosis of pulmonary vascular changes in left heart disease. We tested the hypothesis that this metric is less sensitive to changes in left atrial pressure and stroke volume (SV) than the transpulmonary gradien...
