End-expiratory Versus Averaged Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure Measurements for the Diagnosis of Exercise-induced HFpEF
End-expiratory Versus Averaged Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure Measurements for the Diagnosis of Exercise-induced HFpEF
Introduction: Exercise right heart catheterization (RHC) is useful in the evaluation of unexplained dyspnea, particularly in diagnosing exercise-induced heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Two diagnostic criteria are commonly utilized for supine exercise: pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) at peak exercise ≥25 mmHg, and multi-point s...
