Figure 32-42 Myocardial ischemia. Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is relatively normal and mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is only slightly elevated (15 mm Hg). However, PAWP morphology is markedly abnormal, with tall a waves (21 mm Hg) resulting from the diastolic dysfunction seen in this condition. (Redrawn from Mark JB: Atlas of Cardiovascular Monitoring.
