Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Cardiac output measurement correlation at baseline [30 minutes]
Correlation between cardiac output measurement between USCOM system and Fick and thermodilution methods of cardiac output measurement (standard of care)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cardiac output measurement correlation after vasodilator testing [30 minutes]
Correlation between cardiac output measurement between USCOM system and Fick and thermodilution methods of cardiac output measurement (standard of care) after vasodilator trial testing
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
-
Age > 18 years
-
Diagnosis of Group 1 or Group 4 PAH based on PAPm > 25 mmHg, PAWP <15 mmHg, PVR >3 WU and consistent clinical history. Note: for logistical reasons, patients at high suspicion for Group 1 or Group 4 PAH will sign informed consent to have the USCOM system applied during right heart catheterization before the procedure; if it is found that the patient does not meet the definition of Group 1 or Group 4 PAH during right heart catheterization, he/she will be excluded.
-
Willingness and ability to comply with study procedures.
-
No known hypersensitivity to the components of USCOM electrodes
Exclusion criteria:
-
Unwillingness to sign informed consent or inability or unwillingness to comply with study procedures
-
Evidence of postcapillary pulmonary hypertension on right heart catheterization
