Zusammenfassung

The diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) depends on hemodynamic parameters assessed during right heart catheterization (RHC). Besides being essential for diagnosis important information on severity of the hemodynamic impairment, too, can be assessed. Currently, two methods are recommended: the direct Fick and the thermodilution method. Hoeper et al. reported that both methods are equal value in PAH patients. However, nothing is known on the influence of the patient position on hemodynamic parameters. 18 patients (11 females; age 57±10; mPAP 50±11) and 9 controls (4 females; age 58±14; mPAP 11±2) we…
