Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure at Rest and During Exercise in Healthy Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background The pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) response to exercise may unmask latent heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. There remains a lack of consensus over threshold values for PAWP during exercise. A systematic review of studies examining PAWP by means of right heart catheterization at rest and during exercise in healthy individuals was performed. Methods and Results Relevant data derived from healthy volunteers were...
