Left ventricular(LV) catheter pullback to aorta in a patient with hyperrtrophic
cardiomyopathy . There is a significant systolic gradient within the left ventricular
cavity and the LV outflow tract and aortic pressure waveforms exhibit a spike-and –
dome contour.

arterial pressure waveform following an extrasystolic beat . Arterial pulse
pressure clearly narrows in postextrasystolic beat. The narrowing of pulse
pressure is known as Brockenbrough-Braunwald sign

She has valvular aortic stenosis.
She has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction.
She has an intraventricular pressure gradient.
She has a bicuspid aortic valve with mild stenosis.
She has a pressure gradient but it is likely an artifact.

Arterial Pressure Monitoring
Central Aortic and Peripheral Tracings
 Pulse pressure =

Systolic – Diastolic
 Mean aortic pressure
typically < 5 mm Hg
higher than mean
peripheral pressure
 Aortic waveform varies
along length of the aorta
 Systolic wave increases in amplitude while diastolic wave

decreases
 Mean aortic pressure constant
 Dicrotic notch less apparent in peripheral tracing

PWV
stiffer arteries → increased PWV
→ earlier arrival of reflected waves →
augmentation of systolic rather than
diastolic pressure→increased pulse pressure

Advancing Your Right Heart
Catheter
 Advance the SGC to

about 20cm and inflate
the balloon tip.
 Initial chamber  the
right atrium.
 Initial pressure waveform
3 positive deflections, the
a, c and v waves
 There will be an x and y
descent

Right Atrial Pressure Tracing
 a wave –atrial systole
 c wave – occurs with the

closure of the tricuspid
valve and the initiation of
atrial filling
 v wave – occurs with
blood filling the atrium
while the tricuspid valve
is closed

Timing of the positive deflections
 a wave – occurs after
the P wave (60-80
msec)during the PR
interval
 c wave – when present
occurs at the end of the
QRS complex (RST
junction)
 v wave – Peak occurs
after the T wave

Right Atrial Chamber
1. Height of the v wave

atrial compliance
volume of blood returning
2. Height of the a wave
The pressure needed to
eject forward blood flow

 The v wave is usually smaller

than the a wave in the right
atrium

Right Heart Pressures Tracings

Right atrial hemodynamic pathology
 Elevated a wave
 Tricuspid stenosis
 Decreased RV

compliance


e.g. pulm htn, pulmonic
stenosis

 Cannon a wave
 AV asynchrony –

atrium contracts against
a closed tricuspid valve


e.g. AVB, Vtach

X descent
Prominent –Tamponade,RV
ischemia,(ASD)
Absent – Atrial
arrhythmias,TR,RA ischemia

 Absent a wave

 Atrial fibrillation or

standstill
 Atrial flutter

 Elevated v wave
 Tricuspid regurgitation
 RV failure
 Reduced atrial compliance


e.g. restrictive myopathy

Y descent
Prominent –CCP/RCM/TR
Absent – TS/Tamponade/RV
ischemia

Right atrial hemodynamic pathology

Note the Cannon a wave that is
occurring during AV dysynchrony
– atrial contraction is occurring
against a closed tricuspid valve.

Note the large V wave that
occurs with Tricuspid
regurgitation

Hemodynamic Pathology
 Tricuspid Stenosis
 Large jugular venous a

waves on noted on
exam
 Notable elevated a
wave with the presence
of a diastolic gradient >5mmHg gradient is
considered signficant

Prominent Rt V wave
 V> 15 mmHg
 Difference of V and RA

mean >5 mmHg
 Ration of V to RA
mean>1.5

Catheter
 Continue advancing the catheter
into the right ventricle
 The right and left ventricular

pressure tracings are similar.
 The right ventricular has a shorter
duration of systole
 Diastolic pressure in the right
ventricle is characterized by an
early rapid filling phase, then slow
filling phase followed by the atrial
kick or a wave

a

Normal RV waveform artifact
 Note the notch on the
top of RV pressure
waveform
 This represents

“ringing” of a fluid-filled
catheter
 Ringing can also be
noted on the diastolic
portion of the waveform

Catheter
 Advancing out the RVOT to the
pulmonary artery
 There is a systolic wave indicating

ventricular contraction followed by
closure of the pulmonic valve and
then a gradual decline in pressure
until the next systolic phase.
 Closure of the pulmonic valve is
indicated by the dicrotic notch

Timing of the PA pressure
 Peak systole correlates
with the T wave
 End diastole correlates
with the QRS complex

 Pulmonic Stenosis
 Notable large gradient

across the pulmonic
valve during PA to RV
pullback.
 Notable extreme
increases in RV systolic
pressures and a
damped PA pressure


Mitral Stenosis
This patient underwent mitral valvuloplasty resulting in a reduction of
the resting gradient by 10mmHg and an increase in CO from 3.7 to
