Decision making
At the cost of invasive procedure
Swan ganj cathter was first to be introduced for hemodynamic monitoring
Transducers transforms pressure signas to electrical signals
Importance of equalization of pressure to atmosphere to get a proper curve
Wiggers diagram
Once thought to be the best way to decipher hemodynamics
Understanding science is easier than understanding philosophy
Abnormal is more attractive and romantic than the naïve normal
Abnormal values
Normal relations
Equality
Inequals get equal (eisenmenger/ CP)// equal get inequal is a problem
Inequality
Pericardial pressure is measured by RAP
In CP, LVEDP is elevated..but if RAP is substacted..true transmural pressure will be obtained..and that wl be low due to low filling
Hakki area lesser than gorlin area
Hakki area: not validated for tachycardia or bradycardia
Hakki area: angel’s correction: <75 in MS, >90 in AS, multiply with 1.35
Hakki area: Mean grad in MS, peak instantaneous grad in AS
