Swan-Ganz 


  • Right heart failure: high CVP, low CI, high PVR
  • Left heart failure: high PCWP, low CI, high SVR
  • Pericardial tamponade: high PCWP, high SVR, CVP = PCWP
  • Hypovolemia: low CVP, low PCWP, low CI, high SVR
  • Cardiogenic: high CVP, high PCWP, low CI, high SVR
  • Sepsis (Distributive): low CVP, low PCWP, high CI, low SVR
