OBS

Cette pression est obtenue en bloquant un cathéter à orifice distal dans une branche de l'artère pulmonaire; on interrompt ainsi l'onde de pression pulmonaire normale et la pression enregistrée est celle qui règne dans le lit vasculaire en aval, c'est-à-dire dans le capillaire pulmonaire, les veines pulmonaires et l'oreillette gauche.
