Consequences (A-D) and mechanisms (E-H) of right ventricular (RV) failure. A, Simultaneous pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and right ventricular pressure (RVP) waveforms. Numbered features: 1, Normal right ventricular pressure (Prv) waveform with rapid systolic pressure changes; 2, normal horizontal Prv diastolic slope; 3, abnormal right ventricular pressure Prv diastolic slope greater than 4 mm Hg; 4, square root sign with RV pulsus tardus; 5, diastolic equalization between the Prv and the diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa). BIS, Basal inferior section; MIS, midinferior section; APS, apical section; AVC, aortic valve closure; SV, splenic vein; PWD, pulsed-wave Doppler; MCA, middle cerebral artery; TCD, transcranial Doppler; PSV, peak systolic velocity; MV, mean velocity; EDV, end-diastolic velocity; PI, pulsatility index; HITS; high-intensity transient signals; RCA, right coronary embolism; HA, hepatic artery; CWD, continuous-wave Doppler.
