Case study: results from pulmonary function testing and right heart catheterisation
| Pulmonary function testing | |
| Forced vital capacity | 2.96 L (74% pred) |
| FEV1 | 2.31 L (81% pred) |
| Total lung capacity | 5.99 L (98% pred) |
| DLCO | 20.23 mL·min−1 (79% pred) |
| Right heart catheterisation | |
| Mean right atrial pressure | 7 mmHg |
| Right ventricular pressure | 70/3 mmHg |
| Pulmonary arterial pressure | 72/34 mmHg |
| Pulmonary artery wedge pressure | 13 mmHg |
| Cardiac output/cardiac index# | 2.3/1.2 L·min·m−2 |
| Pulmonary vascular resistance | 1251 dyn·s·cm–5 (15.6 Wood units) |
| Systemic vascular resistance | 3614 dyn·s·cm–5 (45.2 Wood units) |
FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide. #: measured by thermodilution.
