Answer:

PVR is calculated by the formulae:  \text{Mean PVR}=\frac{\text{mean PAP-PAOP}}{\text{CO}} \times80

Pulmonary vascular resistance may be defined as the resistance to blood through the pulmonary circulation.  

PVR can be determined by the following formula:

\text{Mean PVR}=\frac{\text{mean PAP-PAOP}}{\text{CO}} \times80
