Hemodynamic Problems for the Cath Lab
• Valvular heart disease:• Aortic stenosis/insufficiency• Mitral stenosis/insufficiency
• Intraventricular gradients• Pericardial effusion/tamponade• Constrictive/restrictive physiology• Coronary Hemodynamics• Intracardiac Shunts

BAMC Case #3117: Patient: 61 yo maleDx: 3V CAD filter: 50 Hz/ sample 250 Hz
Pre ContrastNormal LV and Aortic Pressure Fluid-filled system micromanometer transducers Fluid filled, FA sheath
Mechanism of AS: LV-Ao Gradient
Consequences of LV-Ao Gradient:
1. late peaking Systolic murmur
2. Single A23. Slow pulse upstroke

Hemodynamics of ASPeak to peak pressure gradients differ between ECHO and CATH
Peak instantaneous P-P
Unshifted=larger Grad

Dobutamine challenge for LG AS
P-P = 50mmHgCO = 4.2l/m
AVA = 0.6cm2

What should you do with Symptomatic AS patient, low gradient, low flow? The Dobutamine Challenge
AVA = 0.7cm2
AVA = 1.0cm2
AVA = 1.5cm2
Fixed area
Hemodynamics of Aortic Insufficiency• Greatest Diastolic Gradient early • Volume filling LV is rapid• LVEDP will be high unless
compensated
