1. Correlation between pulmonary arterial pulse pressure (PP) measured using fluid-filled Swan–Ganz (SG) versus high-fidelity micromanometer-tipped Millar catheters and same measurements presented as Bland and Altman plots. The bias was negligible, indicating accuracy of fluid-filled catheter measurements, but the limits of agreement were of ± 8 mm Hg, indicating limited precision. (Data from Pagnamenta A, Vanderpool R, Brimioulle S, Naeije R. Proximal pulmonary arterial obstruction decreases the time constant of the pulmonary circulation and increases right ventricular afterload. J Appl Physiol. 2013;114:1586–1592.)
