The authors found that correction for respirophasic changes by concomitant measurement of esophageal pressure and PAP in patients with obesity decreased the percentage of postcapillary PH from 60% to 8% and increased the percentages of no PH and precapillary PH from 0% to 23 % and 2% to 25 %, respectively. These are huge differences that, if accepted, would potentially lead to change in therapy. The data reported by Khirfan et al4Khirfan G. Melillo C.A.

Intrathoracic pressure is approximately at −1 to 2 mm Hg at functional residual capacity in healthy resting subjects. Pulmonary vascular pressures and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) vary with pleural pressure that is assessed by esophageal pressure in a close to 1:1 ratio.5LeVarge B.L.

Measuring central pulmonary pressures during exercise in COPD: how to cope with respiratory effects?.Eur Respir J. 2014; 43: 1316-1325Crossref PubMed Scopus (66) Google Scholar Hyperventilation is associated with more negative inspiratory pressure and more positive expiratory pressures and eventual dynamic hyperinflation, which further increases and prolongs positive end-expiratory pressures. Dynamic hyperinflation may occur in exercising healthy subjects but is observed more constantly in patients with obstructive lung disease or obesity. Patients with overweight typically hyperventilate with decreased lung volumes and restrictive physiology associated increase in airway resistance.9Salome C.M. King G.G. Berend N.

However, esophageal pressure measurements are time-consuming in the catheterization laboratory, require expertise in catheter insertion and calibration, and are not always possible. In our experience, patients find the insertion of an esophageal balloon catheter more uncomfortable than a cardiac catheterization. In the study by Khirfan et al,4Khirfan G. Melillo C.A.

Repetitive attempts were needed in eight other patients. There has been suggestion that right atrial pressure could be a surrogate of esophageal pressure.8Boerrigter B.G. Waxman A.B. Westerhof N.

In their patients, shifting from supine to sitting decreased both mean PAP and PAWP pressure by 10 to 12 mm Hg, which can be explained in part by decreased systemic venous return and in part by decreased esophageal pressure. It has been shown that end-expiratory esophageal pressure increases by an average of 10 cm H2o (or 7.5 mm Hg) in the supine position in both subjects with and without obesity.11Owens R.L.
