changed?
The changes are summarized in Table 81.1.
Cardiac tam-ponade typically presents with “equalization of pressures”: the
central venous pressure (CVP), right ventricular dia-stolic pressure, pulmonary
artery diastolic pressure (PAP), and the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure
(PAOP) are equal and usually approximately 20 mmHg.
