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.
