Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Man
Causes of elevated central venous pressure include increased pulmonary circulation resistance, elevated intra-abdominal pressure, right atrial heart failure, or excessive or rapid fluid infusion. It may also result from increased intrathoracic pressure or the use of potent vasoconstrictive medications. Patients with elevated central venous pressure should seek a detailed evaluation at a local reputable hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
