4.9 PROPORTIONAL PRESSURE RELATIONS IN THE PULMONARY ARTERIAL SYSTEM
Background – Objectives: The pulmonary arterial system can be characterized by: 1.A constant product of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) and Total Arterial Compliance (TAC) with Tau=PVRxTAC≈0.7 seconds (1). 2.A proportional relation exits between systolic and diastolic pulmonary artery pressu...
