Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
HCM, an inherited autosomal dominant heart disease with a preva­lence of 1 in 500 individuals, is characterized by myocardial hypertro­phy and fibrosis in the absence of a secondary cause (i.e., hypertension or valvular heart disease). HCM has variable effects on the myocar­dium and includes a broad range of phenotypic varieties, including global hypertrophy, asymmetric septal hypertrophy, apical hypertro­phy, biventricular hypertrophy, and variants involving abnormalities of the mitral valve. Clinically, HCM patients often present with exer­tional dyspnea or chest pain despite preserved systolic function and no obstructive coronary disease or syncope. These symptoms are primarily due to diastolic dysfunction and obstruction of flow across the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) due to septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve.
The degree of LVOT gradients in HCM depends both on loading conditions and LV contractile function. During each cardiac cycle, myocardial contraction promotes bulging of the interventricular septum, which narrows the LVOT and creates Venturi forces that drag the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve into the LVOT, thereby worsening the magnitude of LVOT obstruction. In addition, HCM patients often have a displaced anterior mitral valve leaflet that is further pulled into the LVOT during ventricular systole, leading to poor mitral leaflet coaptation and subsequent mitral regurgitation. Therefore, increased cardiac contractility (i.e., exercise, inotropes), reduced afterload (i.e., vasodilator therapy), or reduced preload (i.e., diuretics or dehydra­tion) can all increase the LVOT gradient. An LVOT gradient > is associated with symptom progression and identifies potential can­didates for septal reduction therapy by surgical myectomy or alcohol septal ablation.

In most patients, resting LVOT obstruction can be identified by 2D echocardiography. For patients without LVOT obstruction at rest, exercise echocardiography is the preferred method for provoking LVOT gradients. Noninvasive methods to provoke LVOT gradients include exercise, Valsalva maneuver, or pharmacologic provocation with amyl nitrate or isoproterenol.
Invasive hemodynamic evaluation of HOCM is reserved for pre­operative evaluation along with coronary angiography or in cases where a discrepancy between symptoms and noninvasive testing exits. First, RHC establishes CO, severity of pulmonary hypertension, and biventricular filling pressures. Next, resting intracavitar y gradients are measured within the LV. Depending on the technique used, precise determination of the LVOT gradient can be challenging. End-hole cath­eters may become entrapped in the myocardium and catheters with side holes may produce erroneous pressure measurements. In most cases, retrograde LV catheterization using a pigtail catheter across the Ao valve is used with care to keep the side holes along the distal shaft under the obstructed region. Pigtail catheters can lead to underestima­tion of LVOT gradients.
Alternative catheters for intracavitar y gradient measurements include a multipurpose catheter with side holes or the HALO catheter with multiple side holes around a perpendicular ring that prevents catheter entrapment. If a resting LVOT gradient > fied, further provocative testing is not required. If no resting LVOT gradient is established, a PVC is provoked by the intracavitary catheter. Postextrasystolic potentiation enhances contractility associated with the post-PVC beat, leading to four findings associated with obstructive HCM: (1) increased LVOT gradient, (2) rapid Ao upstroke, (3) nar­rowed Ao pulse pressure, and (4) spike-and-dome configuration to the Ao waveform (the Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow effect). In con­trast, post-PVC waveforms associated with AS (fixed LVOT) obstruc­tion will exhibit only an increased LVOT gradient. If no LVOT gradient is observed after a PVC, perform Valsalva maneuver to reduce LV preload, thereby narrowing the LVOT and augmenting any LVOT gradi­ent. If an LVOT remains undetected and suspicion for obstructive HCM is high, perform hemodynamics with exercise to increase contractility and reduce afterload or introduce pharmacologic challenge with iso­proterenol (enhanced inotropy) or amyl nitrate (decreased afterload) (Figs. 4-46, 4-47, and 4-48).

Invasive Measures of Ventricular Performance: Pressure and Volume Recordings
In 1914, Ernest Starling extended findings from Otto Frank and defined the Frank-Starling mechanism, which describes the ability of the heart to increase stroke volume (SV) in response to increases in LV pressure or volume. Numerous observations have shown that during acute or chronic heart failure, small changes in LV pressure or volume can lead to hypotension or pulmonary congestion (Fig. 4-49). At each stage of heart failure (i.e., acute heart failure, stable chronic heart failure, and decompensated heart failure/cardiogenic shock), therapy is directed at improving SV and reducing intracardiac volume and pressure over­load, while maintaining an adequate mean arterial pressure to support end-organ tissue perfusion.
During the past four decades, specialized pigtail catheters, known as conductance catheters, that simultaneously measure ventricular pressure and volume have been developed to quantify ventricular function and the effect of therapeutic interventions. At present, these catheters are primarily reserved for research purposes but are used more frequently to provide clinically relevant hemodynamic data. By

applying a constant electric current across multiple electrodes, the catheter converts the electrical conductance of blood within the LV into volume measurements. A solid-state transducer simultaneously measures LV pressure, and a real-time measurement of pressure­volume relationships across the cardiac cycle can be obtained (Fig.
4-50). These data points provide an advanced measure of hemody-
namic conditions associated with acute and chronic cardiac injury (Fig. 4-51) and are now more commonly applied as a method to under- stand the impact of drug and device therapy on changes in cardiac structure and function.

Invasive Hemodynamics with Exercise and Pharmacologic Challenges
Symptoms associated with cardiovascular disease are often absent at rest and provoked by exertion. For this reason, exercise testing in the cardiac catheterization laboratory can unmask hemodynamic abnor­malities that explain exertional symptoms due to coronar y insuffi­ciency, systolic heart failure, impaired diastolic function, valvular heart disease, and pericardial disease. During exercise, a normal physiologic response includes an increase in oxygen consumption by skeletal muscle along with increased oxygen extraction from arterial blood. To match this rising oxygen demand, HR and contractile func­tion increase resulting in an augmented delivery of oxygen through increased cardiac CO. Assuming that lung function is normal, arterial oxygen saturation remains normal, whereas venous oxygen saturation decreases (due to increased consumption by skeletal muscle). This

Figure 4-49 Basic pressure-volume loop interpretation. Each pressure-
volume (PV) loop represents one cardiac cycle. Beginning at the end of isovolumic relaxation (1), left ventricular (LV) volume increases during dias- tole (1 to 2). At end diastole (2), LV volume is maximal and isovolumic contraction begins (2 to 3). At the peak of isovolumic contraction, LV pres­sure exceeds aortic (Ao) pressure and blood begins to eject from the LV into the aor ta (3). During this systolic ejection phase, LV volume decreases until Ao pressure exceeds LV pressure and the Ao valve closes, which is known as the end-systolic pressure-volume (ESPV) point (4). Stroke volume (SV) is represented by the width of the PV loop as the difference between end­systolic and end -diastolic volumes (1 to 2). Load-independent contractility, also known as end-systolic elastance (Ees), is defined as the maximal slope of the ESPV point under various loading conditions, known as the ESPV relationship (ESPVR). Effective ar terial elastance (Ea) is defined as the ratio of end-systolic pressure and SV. Under steady-state conditions, optimal LV pump ef ficiency occurs when Ea : Emax approaches 1. Ea is a component of afterload, which is defined as the resistance to LV ejection throughout systole, and can be represented as the product of end-systolic pressure (ESP) and end-diastolic volume (EDV).

net increase in the arteriovenous oxygen (AVO2) difference correlates with an increase in CO.
Exercise may be categorized as dynamic (bicycle ergometr y; repeated arm or leg lifts) or static (isometric hand grip). Both dynamic and static exercise increases HR, CO, and systemic arterial pressure, with either reduced or preserved peripheral vascular resistance. Hemodynamic measurements using either type of exercise should be first made under resting conditions, then during peak exercise. An adequate response to exercise includes:
1. Normal ventilatory responses (i.e., arterial oxygen extraction)
2. Normal HR increases in response to an increase in CO
3. Normal ventricular volume responses (i.e., decrease in cardiac
filling pressures due to higher CO and increase in diastolic relaxation)
4. Adequate metabolic substrate use (i.e., appropriate use of glucose
as an energy source without generating lactic acid)
Dynamic Exercise
Dynamic exercise measures the ability of the cardiovascular system to supply oxygen in keeping with the demands of the heart. Oxygen consumption and work-load increases should be parallel until the

Dynamic exercise in the catheterization laboratory requires simultane­ous right- and left-heart pressure measurements at rest and during exercise. Most commonly, a supine bicycle that allows for quantifica­tion of exercise in watts is attached to the catheterization table. The patient’s oxygen consumption is also measured and compared to hemodynamic responses. Supine exercise differs from normal upright exercise in several ways: (1) Ventricular volumes are larger when the patient is supine rather than upright, (2) HR and diastolic arterial pres­sure are higher the patient is upright rather than supine, (3) pulmonary and intracardiac filling pressures are lower when the patient is upright, (4) SV increases by 100% with maximal exercise when the patient is upright and only 20% to 50% when the patient is supine, and (5) both upright and supine exercise is normally associated with increases in

left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and decreases in end­systolic volume (ESV), with a concomitant increase in LV ejection fraction. In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), these findings may not occur.
Methodology for the performance of a dynamic exercise test in
the catheterization laboratory can be as follows:
1. With the patient in a supine position, obtain resting hemodynamic data. For supine cycle ergometry, record resting hemodynamics with passive leg elevation before initiation of exercise.
2. Start exercise using either supine cycle ergometry or outstretched arm adduction weight (4 to 5 lbs.) lifting. Patients performing leg exercise can cycle at 60 rpm, starting at a 20-watt workload and increasing by 10-watt increments in 3-minute stages to maximum tolerated levels.
3. For patients performing arm exercise, increase repetition frequency gradually to subjective fatigue. HR and hemodynamic changes including CO can be recorded after 2 minutes of low-level exercise (20 watts), after 4 minutes, and at peak exercise, and during 1 and 5 minutes of recovery with legs still elevated if using supine cycle ergometry (Borlaug et al Circ HF 2010; 3:588–595).
Analyze data with respect to change in hemodynamics (i.e., valve gradients), CO, and oxygen consumption. Patients may be unable to exercise due to leg weakness, depressed cardiac function, peripheral vascular disease, or severe deconditioning. These factors may pre­clude determination of accurate exercise results in the catheterization laboratory and should be considered before undertaking the study.
Measurements of Response to Exercise
1. CO, a useful measurement for studying practically all types of heart
disease, predicts a normal response and allows categorization of a given patient’s response. a. Dexter index: The predicted cardiac index (CI) with exercise is
equal to 2.99 × 0.0059 × measured O2 consumption index with exercise. The measured CI is the CO divided by body surface area (BSA). The normal Dexter index equals the measured CI with exercise, divided by the predicted CI . The result should be >1.
b. Normal exercise factor: For every 100-mL/min increase in O2
consumption with exercise, the CO should increase by at least 600 mL/min. Thus, normal exercise factor = mL/min CO divided by mL/min O
Note: Exercise factor is calculated directly from observed changes in CO and O
2. Note appropriate increases in arterial blood pressure and HR.
3. Compute LV volumes (useful in myopathy, coronary, and valvular
heart disease). With exercise, changes in LVEDV and LVEDP (more commonly used) may be plotted against observed changes in some parameter of LV systolic function (SV or SW) to define a modified LV function curve.
4. Recording changes in filling pressures or valvular gradients are
useful in myopathy, coronary, and valvular heart disease. In par­ticular, patients with symptoms of heart failure and preserved sys­tolic function demonstrate significant perturbation of diastolic filling pressures and CO with provocative exercise testing.

Isometric Exercise
Isometric exercise consists of skeletal muscle contraction without shortening. In the cardiac catheterization laboratory, isometric exer­cise commonly is performed using a handgrip with a graded hand

dynamometer. Measurements of hemodynamics and ventricular func­tion are obtained during sustained hand grip at a pre-determined range (15% to 50% of the maximal handgrip contraction) for a period of 3 to 4 minutes. The size of the involved muscle group is unimportant, provided that maximal voluntary contraction is maintained to increase oxygen demand during the isometric exercise period. Isometric exercise is easy to perform and repeat and requires inexpensive equipment. It does not involve body motion that may interfere with hemodynamic measurements. An involuntary Valsalva maneuver may occur during unsupervised isometric exercise. Careful monitoring, patient cooperation, and practice in the use of the handgrip dyna­mometer will minimize false hemodynamic information. In patients with CAD, isometric exercise rarely precipitates ischemia but may induce new LV wall motion abnormalities, a decrease in LV ejection fraction, and an increase in ESV with no change in diastolic volume. SV and CO may decline during isometric exercise. In patients with CHF, HR and systemic pressure may rise appropriately with a fall in SV and CO, resulting in an increase in LVEDV and PA pressure.
Hemodynamic Data
Pharmacologic Testing
Treatment with vasoactive drugs is another approach to study cardio­vascular function using invasive hemodynamics in the catheterization laboratory. Changes in preload, afterload, and contractility have a profound impact on ventricular function (see Fig. 4-51). Altering loading conditions can be helpful when evaluating patients with val­vular heart disease. For example, in patients with stage D2 low-output/ low-gradient AS, low-dose dobutamine stress testing with echocar­diography or invasive hemodynamic measurements is recommended to help distinguish patients with moderate or severe AS in the setting of primary myocardial dysfunction.
Vasodilator testing with invasive hemodynamics is an important part of the evaluation for patients with primary or secondary pulmo­nary hypertension. In primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), vaso­dilator testing is used to identify potential responders to therapy with calcium channel blockers and to establish prognosis. In these cases, RHC is required for the diagnosis of PPH, which is defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > <15, and a pressure-volume relationship (PVR) >3 Wood units. Vaso- dilator testing is performed with increasing exposure to vasodilators, such as epoprostenol, adenosine, or inhaled nitric oxide. An acute response to vasodilator testing is defined as a decrease in mPAP by at least 10 mm Hg to an absolute level less than 40 mm Hg without a decrease in CO.
Provocative testing is also an important part of the evaluation for patients with advanced systolic heart failure who are being considered for OHTx. Relative contraindications to OHTx include a PVR 5, a pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI) 6, and a transpulmo­nary gradient (TPG) 16. A PA systolic pressure of the aforementioned elevations in pulmonary pressures are associ­ated with increased mortality after OHTx. For these reasons, RHC is required in all OHTx candidates and should be repeated annually until transplantation or every 3 to 6 months if the patient has documented pulmonary hypertension. Vasodilator testing is performed to evaluate for potentially reversible secondary pulmonary hypertension due to pulmonary venous congestion and left-sided heart failure. Vasodila­tor testing is recommended in potential OHTx candidates with a pul­monary artery systolic pressure (PASP) 50, TPG 15, or PVR 3. Ideally, patients should have a PCWP <25 before testing to limit con­tribution from ongoing pulmonary venous congestion. Agents (such as, nitroglycerine, nipride, inhaled nitric oxide, epoprostenol, or mil­rinone) are often used to assess pulmonary pressures in patients with advanced heart failure. If acute vasodilator testing fails, patients are

often admitted for 48 to 72 hours of continuous infusion therapy with milrinone and diuretics to optimize pulmonary pressures. In select cases, acute mechanical support can be used to reduce left-heart filling pressures and evaluate reversibility of secondary pulmonary hypertension.
Basic Electrocardiography in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Basic electrocardiography may be unfamiliar to the new catheteriza­tion laboratory technician or nurse. This section reviews the funda­mentals of electrocardiography as used in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for monitoring of patients.
Cardiac Electrical System
Myocardial contraction is triggered by electrical activity. For every beat on the ECG, a corresponding pressure pulse usually occurs from myocardial contraction. The heart’s electrical system has specialized tissue for the origination and transmission of electrical impulses. The normal sequence of electrical activation is shown in Figure 4-52 and consists of the following: sinoatrial node, atrial tissue, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, Purkinje fibers, and ventricular myocardium.
Electrocardiogram
The ECG is a graphic recording of electrical impulses that are gener­ated by depolarization (contraction) and repolarization (relaxation) of the myocardium. The standard ECG includes six limb leads and six chest leads. The proper placement of electrodes for recording the 12-lead ECG is shown in Figures 4-53 and 4-54.
The ECG 12 leads reflect different electrical views of the heart depolarization and repolarization. Typically, certain leads are associ­ated with electrical activity from specific parts of the myocardium. Leads II, III, and aV heart; leads I and aV
