Disease states
Where to select each condition and what the scenario illustrates.
Severe Right Ventricular Failure
RV pump failure with an elevated pulmonary vascular load produces high right-sided filling pressures and reduced left-heart preload.
Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
Isolated severe TR with elevated right atrial pressure and a systolic regurgitant wave. Left-sided filling pressure and PVR remain normal at baseline.
Severe Tricuspid Stenosis
Obstructed right atrial emptying produces elevated RA pressure relative to RV diastolic pressure.
Tension Pneumothorax · Obstructive Shock
Right-sided tension pneumothorax restricts venous return and pulmonary flow, causing low output and hypotension despite elevated measured right atrial pressure.
Vasovagal Response
Mixed vasodepressor/cardioinhibitory teaching example with sinus bradycardia, low filling and reduced perfusion.
