Comparison of Repetitive Cardiac Output Measurements at Rest and End-Exercise by Direct Fick Using Pulse Oximetry vs. Blood Gases in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension

Comparison of Repetitive Cardiac Output Measurements at Rest and End-Exercise by Direct Fick Using Pulse Oximetry vs. Blood Gases in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension

Background: Exact and simultaneous measurements of mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and cardiac output (CO) are crucial to calculate pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which is essential to define pulmonary hypertension (PH). Simultaneous measurements of mPAP and CO are not feasible using the...
