Normal Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure

Sublingual nitroglycerin reduced pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction during exercise, but did not improve oxygen uptake or cardiac output, according to findings published in Circulation.

WASHINGTON — Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure during a passive leg raise may be a viable method to diagnose or rule out occult HF with preserved ejection fraction.
