Hemodynamic Data
MORTON J. KERN • NAVIN K. KAPUR
In addition to anatomic information through angiography, cardiac catheterization provides equally important functional information through the recording of hemodynamic data of pressure measure­ments, cardiac output (CO), and blood oximetry.
Pressure Waves in the Heart
Blood within the heart and vessels exerts pressure. A pressure wave is created by cardiac muscular contraction and is transmitted from the heart chambers through the vessels. This wave can be measured by a catheter, a closed fluid-filled column connected to a pressure trans­ducer that converts mechanical pressure to an electrical signal that is displayed on a video monitor.
Cardiac pressure waveforms are cyclical, with the pressure rising and falling from the onset of one cardiac contraction (systole) to the onset of the next contraction. The complete description of car­diac physiology can be found elsewhere, but an examination of the cardiac cycle, electrocardiogram (ECG), and corresponding pressures (Figs. 4-1 and 4-2) provides a starting point to understand basic hemo­dynamics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Collection of hemodynamic data is an integral part of every cath­eterization protocol. Even complex hemodynamic data recording can be accomplished accurately and rapidly if an efficient method is con­sistently used in the laboratory. A measurement sequence used in our laboratory is shown in Boxes 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3. This sequence facilitates simultaneous pressure measurements across the heart, concentrating on the aortic (Ao) and mitral valves, which are the most commonly affected by disease. Of all hemodynamic questions, 90% can be answered by examining data collected in this way. As with most brief techniques, it is not all inclusive; different hemodynamic measure­ments for specific clinical situations are necessary. Specific examples are illustrated later.
The collection of routine hemodynamic data obtained from the right and left sides of the heart, with appropriate sampling of blood for oxygen saturations and CO measurements, can be accomplished in less than 30 minutes. Although the Fick CO method is considered to be more accurate, CO by the thermodilution (TD) technique is the routine. Depending on the clinical scenario, both methods of CO determination have their advantages and limitations. Arterial, vena caval, right atrial (RA), and pulmonary artery (PA) blood for oxygen saturation measure­ments are collected for intracardiac shunt identification.

specific indications, most commonly in patients with a history of dyspnea, valvular heart disease, or intracardiac shunts (Box 4-4). Patients with a history of pulmonary edema that occurred on a previ­ous hospital admission often have only dyspnea with no objective evidence (e.g., after chest film, echocardiography) of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Dyspnea caused by lung disease cannot be differ­entiated from that caused by pulmonary hypertension or LV dysfunc­tion. Right-heart catheterization (RHC) is most commonly performed with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), although larger-bore end-hole

catheters may be used and provide high-fidelity tracings. First designed in the 1970s by Swan and Ganz, the PAC is available in sizes ranging from 5 F to 7 F and contains four ports: distal, proximal, thermistor, and balloon inflation. Additional ports for right ventricular (RV) pres­sure measurement, ventricular pacing, or drug infusion are available. The PAC may be inserted via femoral, subclavian, internal jugular, or basilic veins. Potential complications associated with RHC are shown in Box 4-5.
The most common complication of right-sided heart catheteriza­tion is arrhythmia resulting from mechanical catheter stimulation of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), which can lead to ventricu­lar tachycardia (VT), atrioventricular (AV) block or, rarely, right bundle-branch block. Significant but transient ventricular arrhythmias occur in 30% to 60% of RHC procedures and are self-limited (not requir­ing treatment). The arrhythmia is terminated when the catheter is

readjusted. Sustained ventricular arrhythmias have been reported, especially in unstable patients or those with electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, or concurrent myocardial ischemia. In patients with left bundle-branch block, a temporary pacemaker may be necessar y if right bundle-branch block occurs. Clinical trial data do not support the routine use of PAC in patients with heart failure. No studies have examined the clinical utility of PAC in acute myocardial infarction or cardiogenic shock.
Proper catheter positioning is essential for proper waveform inter­pretation. Upon catheter insertion to 20 to 25 cm, a normal RA pres­sure tracing includes five components: (1) “a” wave of atrial contraction, (2) “x” descent illustrating atrial diastole, (3) “c” wave of tricuspid valve closure, (4) “v” wave of ventricular systole and passive atrial filling, and (5) “y” descent of passive atrial emptying (remember as a/x, c, v/y).
Advancing the PAC to 30 to 35 cm yields a RV waveform that can be identified by an abrupt increase in systolic pressure and a diastolic pressure that normally approximates the RA pressure. Rotation of the
180 4
https://t.me/med1917
catheter through the RVOT and advancing across the pulmonic valve at 45 to 55 cm results in a PA waveform identified by three hallmark findings: (1) abrupt increase in diastolic pressure from RV to PA, (2) development of a small dicrotic notch in the PA tracing, and (3) alignment of the peak PA systolic pressure within the electro­cardiographic T-wave. Further advancement of the PAC results in occlusion of a secondary or tertiary branch of a PA and generates the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) waveform, character­ized by a and v waves of reflected left atrial (LA) and LV contraction, respectively.
Hemodynamic Data
Use of Pulmonary Balloon Occlusion (Wedge) Pressure
The PCWP closely approximates the LA pressure, reflecting the filling pressure of the LV in the absence of mitral stenosis. PCWP overesti­mates LA pressure in patients with acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with pulmonary hypertension, pulmo­nary veno-occlusive disease (e.g., pulmonary vein [PV] stenosis after atrial fibrillation [AF] ablation), or LV failure with volume overload (Fig. 4-3, A). Reported discrepancies between LA pressure and PCWP may be caused in part by different types of catheters: Balloon-tipped flotation catheters are soft with small lumens, and trans-septal pres­sure catheters (e.g., Brockenbrough or Mullins-type sheath) are stiff with large lumens. In most clinical settings, PCWP is sufficient to assess LA and LV filling pressure. PCWP may be inaccurate in patients with mitral valvular disease or mitral valve prostheses. Trans-septal LA catheterization should be considered in these cases.
Rules for obtaining an accurate PCWP that agrees with LA pres-
sure are as follows:
1. Position the catheters correctly and verify position through wave-
form, oximetry (oxygen saturation >95%), and fluoroscopy. The wedged position of the catheter is confirmed by an oxygen satura­tion sample >95%. Note: Obtaining this saturation uncontaminated by low-saturation PA blood can be challenging because of the volume of low-saturation blood that must be discarded before wedge blood is collected. Use of a large-bore catheter and saline flushing during antegrade movement into the pulmonary capillary wedge (PCW) position can help with obtaining accurate oxygen saturation measurements.
2. Confirm that PCWP is not a damped PA pressure by using a precise a and v waveform timed against the ECG or LV pressure. Use a stiff, large-bore, end-hole catheter and connect it to the pressure mani­fold with stiff, short pressure tubing. The system should be thor­oughly flushed and bubble free.
3. For mitral valve area (MVA) determinations, correct for the time delay (i.e., phase shift the PCWP v wave to match the LV down stroke) in pressure gradient calculations. However, it is important to note that this time delay does not correct for the damping of the PCW tracing that occurs due to its distal position relative to the LA.
Fick Principle for Measurement of Cardiac Output
The Fick principle states that uptake or release of a substance by any organ is the product of the arteriovenous concentration difference of the substance and blood flow to that organ. Pulmonary blood flow (which is equal to systemic blood flow in the absence of an intracar­diac shunt) is determined by measuring the arteriovenous difference of oxygen across the lungs and the uptake of oxygen from room air by the lungs. CO is calculated as oxygen consumption divided by the arteriovenous oxygen (AVO
) concentration difference. The AVO2
