Left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAPM) and enddiastolic pulmonary artery pressure (PADP) were simultaneously recorded in 19 subjects with normal left ventricular (LV) function, and in 109 patients with LV-dysfunction, 83 of whom were also studied during exercise. Patients with valvular heart disease or atrial fibrillation were excluded from this study. LVEDP and mean pulmonary capillary wedge (PCW) pressure were simultaneously recorded in 81 patients at rest, andin 16 patients also during exercise; the LV diastolic pressure prior to atrial contraction (LVPpreA) could accurately be identified in 45 patients at rest and in 23 patients with exercise. In contrast to the widely accepted opinion of others, the PADP (mean 8.2 +/- 2.2 mm Hg at rest and 12.3 +/- 3.4 mm Hg with exercise) showed a close approximation of LVEDP (10.0 +/- mm Hg at rest and 16.2 +/- 3.5 mm Hg with exercise) only in normal subjects at rest (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.01 respectively). In patients with LV dysfunction there was no significant difference between PADP (11.7 +/- 4.5 mm Hg and 23.0 +/- 8.9 mm Hg), PCW (11.6 +/- 5.1 mm Hg and 24.1 +/- 11.9 mm Hg) and LVPpreA (12.5 +/- 5.5 and 21.5 +/- 7.7 mm Hg) at rest and during exercise. LVEDP could be estimated with sufficient accuracy only from the PAPM (18.9 +/- 6.5 and 35.7 +/- 10.8 mm Hg). The increase in LVEDP (14.7 +/- 7.7 mm Hg) with exercise was not significantly different from the increase in PAPM (16.8 +/- 7.1 mm Hg). There were highly significant correlations (p less than 0.001) between LVEDP and PADP (r = 0.85) as well as PAPM (r = 0.86) at rest and during exercise with the regressionline being closest to the line of identity for LVEDP and PAPM. The pressure gradient between LVEDP and PADP (LVEDP - PADP = 6.3 mm Hg with exercise) equaled the pressure increase in LV by atrial contraction (LVEDP - LVPpreA = 6.3 and 13.3 mm Hg). The pressure difference between PADP or PAPM and LVEDP remained constant despite marked variation of other hemodynamic parameters, e.g. stroke volume index (SVI), heart rate (HR) and cardiac index(CI). These data suggest that an elevated LVEDP is caused mainly by an augmented atrial contraction in patients with LV dysfunction at rest and with exercise. This mechanism precludes an enddiastolic pressure equilibrium between pulmonary artery and left ventricel. PAPM allows the best estimation of LVEDP independent from other hemodynamic variables.
