Clinical utility of point of care ultrasound in detection of clinical congestion in stable patients prior to right heart catheterization
Summary
We want to see if a short, bedside ultrasound assessment is as good as invasive testing to help determine if the blood volume and pressures are normal or not. To do this, we will compare our clinical assessment of blood volume alone, or with a short ultrasound of the lungs and heart to the gold standard of measured pressures obtained via an invasive cardiac catheterization.
Eligibility
Eligible ages: 18 to 100
Accepts healthy participants: Yes
Inclusion criteria:
We are enrolling people who have already been referred for cardiac catheterization at the Foothills Hospital for clinical reasons.
Exclusion criteria:
