Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:
- Describe the hemodynamics in the cardiac cath lab, identify pressure measurement, artifacts and the application of pressure waveforms to the diagnosis of valvular abnormalities
- List indications and contraindications for cardiac catheterization, identify complications and their management, and explain the use of transfemoral and transradial catheterization techniques
- Identify new methods for interventional cardiology procedures, the use of hemodynamic support devices, coronary stents, fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT)
