Note

Increases in left atrial pressure (represented by PAW pressure) over left

ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) simulate a defective mitral

valve.

Mitral Valve Simulation

For mitral valve simulation, using medSim 300B channels BP1 and BP3, connect the

medSim 300B to the cardiac catheterization system under test.
