Chapter

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.

Keywords

Pulmonary Artery Mitral Valve Congenital Heart Disease Pulmonary Vein Atrial Pressure 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
