Cardiac catheterization

  • Can angiography accurately diagnose valvular pathology?
  • How is the left atrial pressure estimated?
  • The function of the left ventricle is evaluated by segment during ventriculography. What are these segments?
  • What does each wave represent on this normal pressure tracing from the right atrium? (Remember that this tracing is transmitted into the vena cava.)
  • What finding would be expected on a pressure tracing from the right atrium in a patient with tricuspid regurgitation?
  • What five standard views are used for selective cardiac angiography and ventriculography?
  • What is cardiac catheterization?
  • What is suggested by a mixed venous oxygen saturation of less than 70%?
  • What is suggested by a mixed venous oxygen saturation of more than 70%?
  • What is the normal arterial oxygen saturation?
  • What is the normal mixed venous oxygen saturation?
