Abstract:
In this paper, we non-invasively measured PCWP and PAP using the parameters of echocardiography and routine heart film in 21 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and compared the results with those of Swan-Ganz taken at the near time. The regression formula of PCWP and PAP obtained respeatively from the dimension of left atrium and index of cardiac area for PCWP and the dimension of left atrium, index of cardiac area and width of right inferior pulmonary artery for PAP can correctly reflect the pressures.
