Geometric limitation of the DPAP. Four fictive pulmonary pressure waves are illustrated sharing the same MPAP and SPAP. For a given period, if the MPAP are equal, then the areas a, b, c, and d are the same in all cases. The area B, SPAP, E and E, DPAP, and C have to be equal. Changing the area of A,SPAP, and E is geometrically limited and include the possible values of DPAP
