Why the study?
Are PA and Ao measurements of ETs throughout the respiratory cycle an accurate parameter for the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis?
Are PA and Ao measurements of ETs throughout the respiratory cycle an accurate parameter for the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis?
Pulmonary artery and aortic ejection time measurements during the respiratory cycle provide a simple and accurate diagnostic parameter for constrictive pericarditis in the catheterization laboratory.
May support simple CP diagnosis via PA/Ao ETs in cath lab; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
In this study, PA and Ao measurements of ETs throughout the respiratory cycle were a simple, easily obtainable, and accurate parameter for the diagnosis of CP.
