Hemodynamic Recording Techniques
Coordination between the recording technician and operators is required to obtain high-quality hemodynamic recordings. The follow­ing are some suggestions that aid in providing consistent, reliable data:
1. At the start of each procedure, enter the patient’s identifiers, the
date, and other key data. Calibrate the transducers and set at zero at the mid-chest level. Measure the mid-chest point with a ruler and mark for later reference.
2. Anticipate changes in the recording settings as the catheter is
moved to new positions. Change pressure scales and sweep speeds as needed.

Example: For monitoring RA pressure in a patient with pulmonary hypertension, a full-scale 0 to 50 mm Hg may be appropriate. As the catheter passes through the tricuspid valve, RV pressure may be
>
50 mm Hg. The technician should observe this, anticipate the change, and quickly change the scale (e.g., 0- to 100-mm Hg full scale) accordingly.

Hemodynamic Data Collection: Points of Confusion and Frustration
It is frustrating for nurses and technicians to enter a laboratory wherein all of the cabling connecting the transducers to the table and the table connectors to the hemodynamic recorder is unplugged and lying all over the floor (see Fig. 4-12, C). This may be a continuous battle if cleaning personnel between or after cases unplug the cables for better cleaning. Numbering or color coding all cables and inputs for easy match-ups is one way to solve this problem. In addition to clear label­ing, cable attachments to the table side with Velcro strips or tapes will help organization and eliminate confusion and wasted time.
Likewise, during a procedure on the catheterization table, it is worthwhile to color code the transducers or connecting tubing or to number them so that communication between the table and the recording technician can proceed smoothly. For example, “please zero transducer number 1, pressure is up on number 1” will clarify recording of FA pressure and not RA pressure.
Hemodynamic Examples and Artifacts
Artifacts of Hemodynamic Tracings
Pressure Fidelity: Underdamping and Overdamping
Normal pressure waveforms from fluid-filled systems are sharp without rounded contours. The correct frequency of the system permits some high-frequency oscillations to be visible at low pressures and maintain rapid upstrokes without overshoot or hyperoscillation at high pres­sure. If the transducer is too sensitive, a small pressure wave can cause a big deflection of the signal. Narrow spikes or exaggerated overshoot of the ventricular (right and left) pressure suggests underdamping. Conversely, if the transducer is not sensitive enough, the same pres­sure wave will not sufficiently deflect the signal, producing a dull or rounded waveform. This is called an overdamped signal and is usually produced by a problem in the fluid path to the transducer or a trans­ducer that is not calibrated correctly.
Air Bubbles
An air bubble in a LV pressure line produces a tracing with exagger­ated systolic and diastolic overshoot (see Fig. 4-11), demonstrating underdamping. After the line is flushed and the air bubble eliminated, the sharp, crisp upstroke of ventricular pressure shows a normal pres­sure rise. An accurate waveform for a properly flushed fluid-filled catheter system shows little overshoot during the high-frequency sys­tolic period and at the same time shows mild vibratory waves during the low-frequency diastolic period. An underdamped tracing can be corrected by instilling diluted contrast media in the pressure line.
Figure 4-12, D, shows a suitable LV pressure with normal (or only
slightly rounded) waveform after flushing of the line (right side of tracing). Early diastolic and systolic portions of the pressure wave on the right show striking overshoot underdamping. Table 4-3 lists common problems and solutions for hemodynamic waveforms.

Underdamping produces a “noisy” PCWP (Fig. 4-13). With instillation of contrast media into the catheter, underdamping is corrected, yield­ing a tracing with clearly interpretable waveforms. Figure 4-14 shows the effect of different timing signals of the transducers for pressure and ECG.
Catheter Malposition or Movement
A false Ao valve stenosis gradient is shown in Figure 4-15. For measure- ment of LV and Ao pressures, all side holes of the pigtail catheter must be under the Ao valve. In Figure 4-15, B, the pigtail catheter is partly out of the LV. LV pressure is partly contaminated by Ao pressure, which reduces the LV-Ao gradient. This artifact also is evidenced by the abnormal diastolic waveform, which shows a continued decline (downslope) in diastolic pressure (see Fig. 4-15, C). LV diastolic pres­sure should be lowest in the first part of diastole, with a rising pressure across the mid and late diastolic period. Figure 4-15, A shows the true gradient when the pigtail catheter is advanced slightly. This artifact is important and if unappreciated may lead to a false conclusion of only minimal Ao valve disease (Fig. 4-16).
Loose Tubing Connections
Loss of pressure may be due to loose connections among the tubing, catheter, manifold, or transducer (Fig. 4-17). An LV pressure that is lower than the Ao pressure is due to this problem (unless the Ao pres­sure is increased by another source, such as heterotopic transplant or extra cardiac hemodynamic support).

Normal Right Ventricular and Right Atrial Pressure Waves
The respiratory influences on RA pressure are shown in Figures 4-18 and 4-19. Simultaneous RV and RA pressures are shown in Figure 4-20. The atrial filling wave a and ventricular filling wave v correspond to the RV pressure tracing. Following the a wave is the “x” descent, and following the v wave is the normal “y” descent. These waveforms may be altered by specific heart disease or arrhythmias. The notch (Fig.
4-20, left-facing arrow) on the top of the RV tracing is the “ringing”
artifact of an underdamped fluid-filled catheter. This ringing is also evident on the early diastolic part of the pressure wave (bottom of same beat, right-facing arrow).
Figure 4-21 shows the continuous pressure on pull back (red
arrow) across the interatrial septum from the LA to the RA of a patient with Ao stenosis. It also shows the differences between LA and RA a and v waves. The v waves in the LA pressure wave are prominent with their corresponding “x” and “y” descents. In the RA, the a and v waves

rises throughout RV systole. Figure 4-22 shows an example of a patient with tricuspid regurgitation. The RA pressure shows striking regurgi­tant v waves during systole without a gradient during diastole between RA and RV pressures, indicating no tricuspid stenosis. RV and RA pressure are elevated (RV systolic, 70 mm Hg; RA mean pressure, 17 mm Hg). A small gradient exists between the RA (higher tracing) and RV (lower tracing) during diastole because of mild tricuspid ste­nosis (a narrow and limited opening of the tricuspid valve).
Right Atrial Pressure in a Patient with Atrioventricular Dissociation
Normal a waves represent the pressure response to atrial contraction on ventricle pressure. During an AV block, the atria are not contracting at the proper time (just before ventricular contraction) (Fig. 4-23). Immediately after the QRS, the ventricles contract and the tricuspid and mitral valves close. If the P wave (and atrial contraction) occurs after the tricuspid valve is closed, a giant a, or cannon, wave can be seen. With return of AV synchrony (normal sequence) on beats 6 and

Similar findings may be seen when a pacemaker causes the dissociation; giant a waves occur during pacing (Fig. 4-24). The atrial contribution may be as much as 25% to 30% of CO and its effect on systemic pressure can be seen in
Figure 4-25.
Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure and Left Atrial Pressure with Simultaneous Trans-septal and Right-Sided Heart Catheterization
For ever y waveform, the LA pressure rise precedes that of PCWP by approximately 100 to 150 msec. Figure 4-26 shows simultaneous LA pressure and PCWP tracings. PCWP is measured through a 7-F fluid­filled, balloon-tipped catheter; LA pressure is measured through a Brockenbrough catheter. The correspondence of these two pressures is generally close and permits clinical use of PCWP for most standard hemodynamic cases.

Right, Simultaneous hemodynamic tracings of femoral ar terial (FA) pressure, taken through the side arm of an 8 -F sheath and central Ao pres­sures. Ao pressure is obtained through the 7-F pigtail catheter. Overshoot of FA pressure and the lag in the pressure upstroke are the normal charac­teristics of femoral tracings.

Normal Femoral Arterial and Central Aortic Pressures
The femoral arterial (FA) and centrally measured Ao pressures have a fairly close correspondence. Normally, there is a slight overshoot of systemic pressures at the peripheral and FA locations. In the example in Figure 4-27, FA pressure measured through the side arm of the FA sheath (8 F) is matched against pressure in the pigtail catheter (7 F) positioned above the Ao valve. By observing the timing of the upstroke of the pressures, the operator can distinguish the central Ao pressure (first signal rising). The mean of the two pressures is identical. Figure
4-27 shows the high-fidelity pressure tracings of simultaneous LV and
Ao pressures from a dual high-fidelity catheter.
The contribution of atrial filling to systemic pressure can be seen in Figure 4-28. The normal sinus beats (1 and 2) with simultaneous Ao (FA) and LV pressure tracings show a systolic pressure of 175 mm Hg and Ao diastolic pressure of 70 mm Hg. Atrial contribution is lost because of a-v dissociation (Fig. 4-28, arrow), and a pacemaker rhythm takes over. The systolic pressure falls dramatically to 118 mm Hg and
