Figure 5. Simultaneous presentation of the electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram, and pressure waveforms from the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery. The phonocardiogram clearly shows the widely split S1, single S2, and right-sided S3 and S4. Note that S4 and S3 are coincident with a prominent a wave and deep y descent in the right atrial pressure waveform, respectively. Pulmonary arterial and right ventricular end-diastolic pressures are almost identical due to free PR. ECG – electrocardiogram; RA – right atrial; RV – right ventricle; PA – pulmonary artery.
