Hemodynamic diagnosis of tricuspid regurgitation/right heart failure

Follow Karl-Philipp Rommel as he shares insights on physiology relevant to diagnosing and treating TR-related right heart failure, starting in this first episode with the hemodynamic assessment.
In this video you will learn:

• to recognize the intricate relationship between symptoms and hemodynamics in (TR-related) right heart failure.
• to understand the role of invasive hemodynamic assessment in the evaluation of TR patients

Key messages of Episode #1

1. Signs of right heart failure: central congestion, but also exercise intolerance, dyspnea, pleural effusion -> biventricular hemodynamics
2. Tricuspid regurgitation: cause and/or consequence, low threshold of suspicion in patients with right heart failure
3. Invasive hemodynamics: key to pin down underlying etiology, assess hemodynamic impact (prognosis) and map out treatment strategy
