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

Tri/MV valves open

Pa/Ao valves are closed

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

Normal aortic valve Congenital bicuspid aortic stenosis

Aortic Stenosis

Mechanism of AS: LV-Ao Gradient

Consequences of LV-Ao Gradient:

1. late peaking Systolic murmur

2. Single A23. Slow pulse upstroke

Fusmann and Feldman T, Cath and CV Int 53:553;2001

Hemodynamics of ASPeak to peak pressure gradients differ between ECHO and CATH

Peak instantaneous P-P

Unshifted=larger Grad

Parham and Kern, Cath and CV Int 53:553;2001

Retrograde hemodynamic Assessment of Prosthetic Valves with a Pressure Wire

Low Gradient AS. EF 25%, no CAD. Valve replacement?

P-P gradient 30mmHgCO = 3.2l/m FickAVA = 0.7cm2

Base 10 Dob+Pace 80 20 Dob + Pace 95

Dobutamine challenge for LG AS

P-P = 50mmHgCO = 4.2l/m

AVA = 0.6cm2

Grayburn, P. A. Circulation 2006;113:604-606

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

AVP after 20 x 60mm Balloon. What happened?

AS+AI

Hemodynamics of Aortic Insufficiency• Greatest Diastolic Gradient early • Volume filling LV is rapid• LVEDP will be high unless

compensated

Normal LA and LV diastolic pressures LA-LV Diastolic Gradient

Pressure Waves are related Chamber compliance (p/v)
