Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Classification by Electrocardiogram, Echocardiography, and Catheterization: Prognostic Implications.

BACKGROUND Left ventricular diastolic filling pressure (LVFP) is a hallmark of heart failure. Although pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) measured during right heart catheterization (RHC) is the reference standard, echocardiography is more commonly used in practice. OBJECTIVES The authors previously developed an...
