Arthur Calick M.D.1 and Stephen Berger M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Medical Service, Naval Hospital, St. Albans, New York

Pulsus alternans of the pulmonary artery is uncommon. It has been described in association with conditions of varied etiology, affecting either left or right ventricular function. A case of pulmonary artery pulsus alternans associated with pulmonary artery hypertension secondary to pulmonary embolism is described. This pattern should suggest the possibility of pulmonary embolism when seen at cardiac catheterization.
