Figure 4. PAC, PVR and τ before and after treatment for ADHF.

Figure 4

A. PVR and PAC before (open box) and after treatment (closed box). Because PCWP (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) decreases, the shift in PVR and PAC does not completely follow the original hyperbola. B. Pulmonary arterial time constant increases in patients whose PCWP decreases (> 10 mmHg) during treatment.
