Description::
An understanding of cardiac hemodynamics is fundamental to caring for patients with a broad range of cardiac and non-cardiac conditions including shock, pericardial disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and infection. The cardiac catheterization laboratory is the traditional venue for measuring and defining a patient’s hemodynamics. In this course, we will describe the methods and pitfalls of hemodynamic assessment.
Learning Objectives:
In this course, you will learn:
• To correctly identify the basic hemodynamic waves and the cardiac physiology which produce specific hemodynamics waves
• To correctly identify the cardiac equipment needed to make specific hemodynamic measurements
• To describe the indications for right-heart catheterization
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
