✦ Synopsis

We studied 20 patients with cardiovascular disorders. All patients had constant systemic blood pressure and body weight > 1 week prior to the study. Cardiac output (CO), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVED), mean aortic pressure (AO), pulmonary wedge pressure (PW), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PA), mean right atrial pressure @A), right ventricular end-diastolic pressure (RVED) were recorded during cardiac catherization.

Ten patients with RVED < 10 mmHg were classified as group 1. The re maining 10 patients with RVED > 10 mmHg were classilied as group 2. Portal profiles were studied using an
