Why the study?
Does right heart catheterization (RHC) performed prior to TAVI add incremental prognostic value to clinical and echocardiographic evaluation in patients undergoing TAVI?
Does right heart catheterization (RHC) performed prior to TAVI add incremental prognostic value to clinical and echocardiographic evaluation in patients undergoing TAVI?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Routine right heart catheterization prior to TAVI does not provide additional prognostic information beyond standard clinical and echocardiographic evaluation for two-year outcomes.
On the basis of a comprehensive clinical and echocardiographic evaluation, RHC performed prior to TAVI does not add incremental prognostic value.
