Key result
Understanding fundamental hemodynamic principles, including proper pressure wave acquisition and graphic display, is essential to avoid errors in signal interpretation that can negatively impact patient care.
Why the study?
Understanding the mechanics of the visual representation of cardiac pressures is fundamental to assessing cardiovascular hemodynamics, avoiding interpretation pitfalls, and justifying the risk of invasive procedures.

Understanding the mechanics of visual representation of cardiac pressures is fundamental to accurate assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics and avoiding pitfalls in interpretation.
•Understanding the mechanics of the visual representation of cardiac pressures is fundamental to assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics.•Without that understanding, one can neither adequately assess waveforms, nor problem-solve potential pitfalls of interpretation.•Acquiring an appropriate pressure waveform is critical to accurate interpretation for patient care and justifies the risk to the patient of the invasive procedure.
