Normal Rv Pressure Tracing

Ventricular pressure is a measure of blood pressure within the ventricles of the heart.

Normal rv pressure 25 4 mmhg when there are no abnormalities in the right heart. The pressure curve consists of a fast upstroke a rounded top directly after the qrs complex. Normal pa pressures range from 15 25 systolic same as rv and 8 15 diastolic. During most of the cardiac cycle ventricular pressure is less than the pressure in the aorta but during systole the ventricular pressure rapidly increases and the two pressures become equal to each other represented by the junction of the blue and red lines on the diagram on this page the.

Interpretation wave 8 rv high systole and diastole with a faint dicrotic notch are visible but all the pressures are higher than normal. A sharp upstroke is seen on the pressure tracing which reflects ejection of blood. This pressure waveform looks similar to the rv except the diastolic will be a bit higher.

At this point you re just advancing it and looking for the satisfying wedge waveform.
