PCWP in common conditions

the article says that pcwp can differentiate between different causes of heart failure. is it possible to enumerate a few common ones? 78.154.210.148 (talk) 14:20, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PAOP is not the same as PAWP or PCP

With reference to the Andrew J. Peacock et al, occluded pulmonary artery pressure (PAOP) is not pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) or pulmonary capillary pressure (PCP). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whyseejosh (talk • contribs) 21:45, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

pulmonary catheter?

The diagram shows a catheter being wedged into the pulmonary artery, but when I think of a “pulmonary catheter” I would think of something being inserted into the lungs through the throat. And there is no article named “pulmonary catheter.” Would it be correct, then, to replace “pulmonary catheter” in the lead with “pulmonary artery catheter”? Or is this not correct, since the catheter is actually inserted into the vein and from there through the heart into the pulmonary artery? 138.88.146.163 (talk) 22:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
