Rechtsherzkatheteruntersuchung – Schritt für Schritt

Die Rechtsherzkatheteruntersuchung ist ein in der Kardiologie und Intensivmedizin häufig eingesetztes Verfahren vor allem zur Differenzialdiagnose einer pulmonalen Hypertonie und Bestimmung des Herzzeitvolumens. In diesem „Schritt-für-Schritt“-Beitrag gehen die Autoren auf den praktischen Aspekt dieser Methode ein.

Abstract

Right heart catheterisation is a frequently used procedure in cardiology and intensive care medicine, especially for the differential diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, shunt diagnostics and accurate calculation of the important haemodynamic parameters. Various catheters are available for the examination; the most common and safest is the use of a Swan-Ganz catheter. The complete examination includes probing of the right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery and pulmonary capillary bed. In this „step-by-step“ article, the authors discuss the practical aspects of this method.
