• Normal preload is 10 mm Hg.
• Systolic murmur heard in the upper right sternal border is found in aortic stenosis.
• Left ventricular systolic pressure and aortic systolic pressure are the same with pure aortic regurgitation.
• There is elevated pulmonary wedge pressure (left atrial pressure) in mitral regurgitation.
• Pulmonic regurgitation would result in high wedge pressure and pulmonic stenosis would result in a low wedge pressure.
• Tricuspid stenosis would result in elevated diastolic gradient between right atrium and right ventricle.
