Policy Statement Central venous pressure (CVP) is the pressure exerted in the cardiovascular venous system at the level of the caval– right atrium junction. The pressure measured at this site is taken to reflect the right ventricular preload or end-diastolic volume and ability of the right ventricle to pump the systemic venous return. For individuals with “normal” heart and lungs, the CVP is closely related to pulmonary wedge pressure and, therefore, to left ventricular preload.
