About

The aim of this prospective observational study is to assess the accuracy of non-invasive hemodynamic parameter estimation via trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) compared to the invasive gold standard of right heart catheterization (RHC). This study will include patients who undergo both TTE and RHC on the same day, under the same hemodynamic conditions. The primary research question is: how does the echodynamic evaluation perform compared to right heart catheterization?

Full description

The non-invasive echocardiographic assessment will be used to esimate via mathematic formulas all the direct and indirect paramethers obtained from the right side catheterization. Each value obtained from the model using echocardiographic paramethers will be compared to the invasive finding.

Enrollment: 200 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Clinical need for an invasive hemodynamic assessment and an echocardiographic evaluation on the same day

Exclusion criteria

• Incomplete hemodynamic assessment for any reason
