Figure 32-34
Tall left atrial pressure (LAP) a and v waves transmitted
in a retrograde direction through the pulmonary vasculature distort the antegrade
pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) waveform. The LAP a wave distorts systolic upstroke,
and the v wave distorts the dicrotic notch. (Redrawn from Mark JB: Atlas
of Cardiovascular Monitoring. New York, Churchill Livingstone, 1998, Fig. 4-10.)
