Refine diagnosis to improve chronic heart failure care

Summary

Refine diagnostic approaches to improve care in chronic heart failure patients. This session covers comparative pulmonary flow measurement techniques, prognostic significance of left atrial strain in mildly reduced ejection fraction, and serum interleukin-33 associations. Additionally, it reviews biopsy sheath contact confirmation during right ventricular biopsy and compares complication rates between isolated right and combined heart catheterizations.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Thermodilution vs. indirect fick for pulmonary flow measurement in a model of aorto-pulmonary shunt
  • Prognostic relevance of left atrial strain in heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction
  • Association of serum level of Interlukein-33 in heart failure vs. healthy population
  • Utility of confirming biopsy sheath contact with the right ventricular septum in biopsy
  • Comparison of complication rates: isolated right vs. combined right and left heart catheterisation
