Right Heart Catheterization
• Measures Central Venous Pressure/Right Atrial Pressure
• Measures RV Pressures and PA Pressures
• Gives Indirect Measure of Left Atrial Pressure (PCWP)
• Avoids Septal Puncture
• Estimates Cardiac Output
• Quantifies Oxygen Utilization
• Useful in Diagnosis of Shock Etiology
• Useful for Peri-Operative Volume Management

Case Presentation CC is a 19 yo AAM with no significant PMHx who
presented with a 2 year history of progressive abdominal distention. Pt. reported that the abdominal distention had particularly worsened during the six months prior to presentation and he presented to the medicine clinic at the insistence of his family. He reported that he was active in sports and denied LE edema, SOB, PND, and orthopnea. In fact, he reported that, aside from his worsening abdominal distention, he generally felt well. He was admitted from the clinic for workup of his abdominal distention.

During this admission, a TTE was performed and showed a large pericardial effusion without evidence of tamponade (the study has been lost). Blood cultures were negative for bacterial infection and fluid cultures were smear negative and culture negative for AFB, fungus and bacteria Clinically, he looked well and was discharged by the primary service for outpatient workup. He failed to keep his appointments and presented to the ER with SOB approx. 1 month after discharge. During this second admission, workup included echocardiography, left and right heart cath. The echocardiographic findings will be discussed at the end of the case.
