Unusual hemodynamic response during exercise-induced angina pectoris.
A patient with coronary artery disease exhibited reduction in systemic arterial pressure and striking changes in pulmonary artery wedge pressure and pulse contour during an episode of exercise-associated angina pectoris. There is suggestive evidence that these phenomena were secondary to marked but reversible exacerbation of mitral regurgitation.
