Rat Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) Compared to Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP)
This article covers the difference between Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) and Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP) to troubleshoot surgical placement.
Expected Parameters for Blood Pressure in Rat PAP and RVP:
|
|
Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) |
Right Ventricular Pressure (RVP) |
|
Diastolic Pressure (mmHg) |
≈10-40 |
0 |
|
Systolic Pressure (mmHg) |
≈30-60 |
≈40-60 |
|
Signal Morphology |
Sawtooth morphology with a shoulder or notch on the backside of the curve |
Similar morphology to LVP; sharp increase, plateau, and sharp decrease |
Example PAP signal during surgery:
Example RVP Signal:
