Hemodynamic Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease

  • Chapter
Diagnostic and Interventional Catheterization in Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

A fundamental understanding of basic instrumentation and cardiovascular physiology is essential to competently assess the hemodynamic status of patients with congenital heart disease. The following is a very superficial view of these topics and readers should consult any of a number of more detailed texts 1–3. The contents of this chapter are presented in the following sequence.
