Extrait

The study hypothesis is that accuracy of CO measurement by IGR does not differ from classical CO measurement methods such as thermodilution or direct Fick method. This is why the study aims to determine whether non invasive cardiac output (CO) measurement using inert gas rebreathing (IGR)is a suitable method in patients with pulmonary hypertension. In order to examine this, the IGR method will be used in patients undergoing diagnostic or follow-up right heart catheterization.
