Nonetheless, RHC remains a vital tool in the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and management of patients with suspected pulmonary hypertension (PH) and selected heart failure patients.Ĭopyright © 2023, StatPearls Publishing LLC. Though employed widely in the past, the failure of multiple studies to show any benefit of RHC in patients with advanced heart failure or cardiogenic shock has decreased its utility in everyday practice. This was described initially in the eighteenth century, and since then, the procedure and its applications have drastically grown. Right heart catheterization (RHC) is an invasive procedure that requires expertise and close monitoring. The balloon is then inflated, which occludes the branch of the pulmonary artery and then provides a pressure reading that is equivalent to the pressure of the left atrium. It is measured by inserting a balloon-tipped, multi-lumen catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) into a central vein and advancing the catheter into a branch of the pulmonary artery. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is frequently used to assess left ventricular filling, represent left atrial pressure, and assess mitral valve function.
