Pulm Circ 2024; 14:e12371. [PMID: 38646412 PMCID: PMC11027072 DOI: 10.1002/pul2.12371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Lung transplantation remains an important therapeutic option for idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), yet short-term survival is the poorest among the major diagnostic categories. We sought to develop a prediction model for 90-day mortality using the United Network for Organ Sharing database for adults with IPAH transplanted between 2005 and 2021. Variables with a p value ≤ 0.1 on univariate testing were included in multivariable analysis to derive the best subset model. The cohort comprised 693 subjects, of whom 71 died (10.2%) within 90 days of transplant. Significant independent predictors of early mortality were: extracorporeal circulatory support and/or mechanical ventilation at transplant (OR: 3; CI: 1.4-5), pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (OR: 1.3 per 10 mmHg; CI: 1.07-1.56), forced expiratory volume in the first second percent predicted (OR: 0.8 per 10%; CI: 0.7-0.94), recipient total bilirubin >2 mg/dL (OR: 3; CI: 1.4-7.2) and ischemic time >6 h (OR: 1.7, CI: 1.01-2.86). The predictive model was able to distinguish 25% of the cohort with a mortality of ≥20% from 49% with a mortality of ≤5%. We conclude that recipient variables associated with increasing severity of pulmonary vascular disease, including pretransplant advanced life support, and prolonged ischemic time are important risk factors for 90-day mortality after lung transplant for IPAH.

Accuracy of VO 2 estimation according to the widely used Krakau formula for the prediction of cardiac output. Herz 2024; 49:50-59. [PMID: 37439804 PMCID: PMC10830659 DOI: 10.1007/s00059-023-05196-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive cardiac output (CO) is measured with the thermodilution (TD) or the indirect Fick method (iFM) in right heart catheterization (RHC). The iFM estimates CO using approximation formulas for oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text]O2), but there are significant discrepancies (> 20%) between both methods. Although regularly applied, the formula proposed by Krakau has not been validated. We compared the CO discrepancies between the Krakau formula with the reference (TD) and three established formulas and investigated whether alterations assessed in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) determined the extent of the deviations. METHODS This retrospective study included 188 patients aged 63 ± 14 years (30% women) receiving both CMR and RHC. The CO was measured with TD or with the iFM using the formulas by Krakau, LaFarge, Dehmer, and Bergstra for [Formula: see text]O2 estimation (iFM-K/-L/-D/-B). Percentage errors were calculated as twice the standard deviation of the difference between two CO methods divided by their means; a cut-off of < 30% was regarded as acceptable. The iFM and TD-derived CO ratio was built, and deviations > 20% were counted. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of a deviation of > 20%. RESULTS The TD-derived CO (5.5 ± 1.7 L/min) was significantly different from all iFM (K: 4.8 ± 1.6, L: 4.3 ± 1.6; D: 4.8 ± 1.5 L/min; B: 5.4 ± 1.8 L/min all p < 0.05). The iFM-K-CO differed from all methods (p < 0.001) except iFM‑D (p = 0.19). Percentage errors between TD-CO and iFM-K/-L/-D/-B were all beyond the acceptance limit (44/45/44/43%), while percentage errors between iFM‑K and other iFM were all < 16%. None of the parameters measured in CMR was predictive of a discrepancy of > 20% between both methods. CONCLUSION The Krakau formula was comparable to other iFM in estimating CO levels, but none showed satisfactory agreement with the TD method. Improved derivation cohorts for [Formula: see text]O2 estimation are needed that better reflect today's patients undergoing RHC.

Impact on Pulmonary Hypertension Hemodynamic Classification Based on the Methodology Used to Measure Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure and Cardiac Output. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2023; 20:1752-1759. [PMID: 37561068 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202303-216oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Guidelines recommend using end-expiration pulmonary pressure measurements to determine the hemodynamic subgroups in pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) determinations averaged across the respiratory cycle (PAWPav) instead of PAWP at end-expiration (PAWPee) and cardiac output (CO) measured by Fick (COFick) instead of thermodilution (COTD) may affect the hemodynamic classification of pulmonary hypertension. Objectives: To assess the impact on the pulmonary hypertension hemodynamic classification of the use of PAWPee versus PAWPav as well as COFick versus COTD. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study of consecutive patients (n = 151) who underwent right heart catheterization with COTD, COFick, PAWPee, and PAWPav. A secondary cohort consisted of consecutive patients (n = 71) who had mean pulmonary artery pressure at end-expiration (mPAPee) and mPAP averaged across the respiratory cycle (mPAPav) measured, as well as PAWPee and PAWPav. Results: The PAWPee and PAWPav were 16.8 ± 6.4 and 15.1 ± 6.8 mm Hg, respectively, with a mean difference of 1.7 ± 2.1 mm Hg. The COTD and COFick determinations were 5.0 ± 2.4 and 5.3 ± 2.5 L/min, respectively, with a mean difference of -0.4 ± 1.3 L/min. The hemodynamic group distribution was significantly different when using PAWPee versus PAWPav, when using either COTD or COFick (P < 0.001 for both comparisons), and these results were consistent in our secondary cohort. The pulmonary hypertension hemodynamic group distribution was not significantly different between COTD and COFick when using either PAWPee or PAWPav. Conclusions: The methodology used to measure PAWP, either at end-expiration or averaged across the respiratory cycle, significantly impacts the hemodynamic classification of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive assessment of elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) in patients with heart diseases is challenging. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is a promising modality for predicting LVEDP and PAWP. METHODS Fifty-seven stable ambulatory patients who underwent right and left heart catheterization were included. Following the procedures, LUS was performed in twenty-eight ultrasonographic zones, and the correlation between five different LUS derived B-line scores with LVEDP and PAWP was examined. RESULTS The B-line index correlated with LVEDP and PAWP, with coefficients of 0.45 (p = 0.006) and 0.30 (p = 0.03), respectively. B-line index showed an AUC of 0.76 for identifying LVEDP > 15 mmHg (p = 0.01) and an AUC of 0.73 for identifying PAWP > 15 mmHg (p = 0.008). Overall, scores performances were similar in predicting LVEDP or PAWP > 15 mmHg. A B-line index ≥ 28 was significantly associated with LVEDP > 15 mmHg (OR: 9.97) and PAWP > 15 mmHg (OR: 6.61), adjusted for age and indication for heart catheterization. CONCLUSIONS LUS derived B-line scores are moderately correlated with PAWP and LVEDP in patients with heart diseases. A B-line index ≥ 28 can be used to predict elevated LVEDP and PAWP with high specificity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension guidelines recommend invasive right heart catheterization for diagnosis and clinical follow-up. Our aim was to compare non-invasive impedance cardiography with invasive techniques for cardiac index measurements and mortality prediction in patients with pulmonary hypertension. METHODS Between 2008 and 2018, 284 right heart catheterizations were performed for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in 215 patients with mean pulmonary artery pressure >25 mm Hg, and at least 2 methods used for cardiac output measurement were included in the study retrospectively. Patients were evaluated with Pearson's correlation in 3 groups: estimated Fick (eFick) method and thermodilution (group 1), eFick method and impedance cardiography (group 2), and thermodilution and impedance cardiography (group 3). We also compared the predictive power of cardiac index measured by different methods for 1-year overall mortality and hospitalizations. RESULTS There were strong and moderate positive correlations in groups 1 and 3, respectively (r = 0.634, P <.001, r = 0.534, P =.001), and the weakest correlation was in group 2 (r = 0.390, P =.001). The mean difference (bias) between eFick method versus impedance cardiography, impedance cardiography vs. thermodilution, and eFick method vs. thermodilution was 0.6 mL/min, 0.47 mL/min, and -0.2 mL/min respectively, but limits of agreement were wide. In both groups, cardiac index <2.5 L/min/m2 as measured by thermodilution significantly predicted 1-year mortality. Also, impedance cardiography was better than eFick method in predicting mortality (P =.02). CONCLUSIONS Our single-center real-life data showed that for cardiac output and cardiac index measurements, impedance cardiography provides a moderate correlation with thermodilution and is fair with eFick method methods. Moreover, thermodilution appeared superior to both eFick method and impedance cardiography, while impedance cardiography was even better than eFick method in predicting 1-year adverse events, including total mortality and hospitalization, in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The right ventricle (RV) has a complex geometry and physiology which is distinct from the left. RV dysfunction and failure can be the aftermath of volume- and/or pressure-loading conditions, as well as myocardial and pericardial diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and right heart catheterisation can assess RV function by using several qualitative and quantitative parameters. In pulmonary hypertension (PH) in particular, RV function can be impaired and is related to survival. An accurate assessment of RV function is crucial for the early diagnosis and management of these patients. This review focuses on the different modalities and indices used for the evaluation of RV function with an emphasis on PH.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate. It can occur to due to multiple etiologies of cardiovascular disease and is phenotypically heterogeneous. Acute myocardial infarction-related CS (AMI-CS) has historically been the most prevalent cause, and thus, research and guidance have focused primarily on this. Recent data suggest that the burden of non-ischemic CS is increasing in the population of patents requiring intensive care admission. There is, however, a paucity of data and guidelines to inform the management of these patients who fall into two broad groups: those with existing heart failure and CS and those with no known history of heart failure who present with "de novo" CS. The use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has expanded across all etiologies, despite its high cost, resource intensity, complication rates, and lack of high-quality outcome data. Herein, we discuss the currently available evidence on the role of MCS in the management of patients with de novo CS to include fulminant myocarditis, right ventricular (RV) failure, Takotsubo syndrome, post-partum cardiomyopathy, and CS due to valve lesions and other cardiomyopathies.

Does veno-arterial carbon dioxide gradient provide an adequate estimation of cardiac index in pulmonary hypertension? EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2023; 12:38-47.

Abstract
AIMS Pulmonary hypertension (PH) management is dependent on cardiac output (CO) assessment. The gold standard Fick method for CO and cardiac index (CI) measurement is not widely available. An accessible and reliable method for CO/CI estimation is needed not only in catheterization labs but also in other environments such as the intensive care unit, where pulmonary artery catheters are less likely to be used. We hypothesized that veno-arterial carbon dioxide gradient (PvaCO2) is a reliable surrogate for Fick CI in patients with PH. METHODS AND RESULTS A single-centre retrospective analysis of patients with PH who underwent direct Fick CI (DFCI) measurement during right heart catheterization. The primary outcome was correlation between PvaCO2 and DFCI. To assess the agreement between central and mixed venous CO2 values, a separate prospective cohort of patients was analysed. Data from 186 patients with all haemodynamic types of PH were analysed. PvaCO2 moderately correlated with Fick CI, R = -0.51 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.61, -0.39]. A higher PvaCO2 was associated with an increased risk of CI < 2.5 L/min/m2 (odds ratio: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.55, 2.35). Low thermodilution CI with normal veno-arterial carbon dioxide gradient values was associated with a thermodilution underestimation of Fick CI. In the prospective analysis of 32 patients, central venous CO2 overestimated mixed venous values (mean difference 3.3, 95% CI: 2.5, 4.0) and there was poor agreement overall (limits of agreement -1.10, 7.59). CONCLUSION Veno-arterial carbon dioxide gradient moderately correlates with Fick CI and may be useful to identify patients with low CI. Central and mixed venous CO2 values should not be used interchangeably in PH.

The Influence of Methods for Cardiac Output Determination on the Diagnosis of Precapillary Pulmonary Hypertension: A Mathematical Model. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020410. [PMID: 36675338 PMCID: PMC9864355 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH, PcPH) is now defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) > 20 mmHg, a pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤ 15 mmHg and a pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) > 2 WU. For PVR calculation, the measurement of cardiac output (CO) is necessary. It is generally measured using thermodilution. However, recent data showed that the agreement with direct Fick method, historically the gold standard, is less than previously reported. We aimed to create a mathematical model that calculated the probability of being classified differently (PcPH or unclassified PH) if CO measured by direct Fick was used instead of thermodilution for any individual patients with a mPAP > 20 mmHg and a PAWP ≤ 15 mmHg. Methods: The model is based on Bland and Altman analysis with a normally distributed difference of cardiac output, fixed 1.96 standard deviation of bias, bias and physiological cardiac output limits. Results: Following a literature review of the studies comparing CO measured with direct Fick and thermodilution, we fixed the 1.96 standard deviation of bias at 2 L/min, bias at 0 L/min and physiological resting CO limits between 1.3 L/min and 10.2 L/min. Conclusions: This model can help the clinician to evaluate the potential benefit of measuring CO using direct Fick during the diagnostic work-up and its utility in confirming or ruling out a diagnosis of PcPH in any given patient with a mPAP > 20 mmHg and a PAWP ≤ 15 mmHg.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is usually associated with a normal or decreased cardiac output (CO). Less commonly, PH can occur in the context of a hyperdynamic circulation, characterized by high CO (>8 L/min) and/or cardiac index ≥4 L/min/m2 in the setting of a decreased systemic vascular resistance. PH due to high CO can occur due to multiple conditions and in general remains understudied. In this review article we describe the pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, hemodynamic characteristics, and management of PH in the setting of high CO. It is important to recognize this distinct entity as PH tends to improve with treatment of the underlying etiology and PH specific therapies may worsen the hemodynamic state.

Abstract
To assess the long-term prognostic value of cardiac catheterization and acute vasodilator testing (AVT) with inhaled iloprost in children with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Data on 81 consecutive children with IPAH referred to our center who underwent cardiac catheterization and AVT between June 2008 and August 2019 were collected. The correlation between the invasive hemodynamic data and transplant-free survival was analyzed. Twenty-four patients died and 1 underwent lung transplantation during a median follow-up of 3.8 years, with a 5-year transplant-free survival rate of 64.9%. Univariate analysis showed that predictors associated with improved survival included a lower pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRI), PVRI/systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP)/mean systemic arterial pressure, mean right atrial pressure, and a higher cardiac index (CI), mixed systemic venous oxygen saturations (SvO2), and acute vasodilator response (AVR) according to the Barst criteria (decrease in mPAP and PVRI/SVRI ratio of >20% without a decrease in CI). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, Barst AVR and SvO2 were independently related to transplant-free survival. Multiple hemodynamic variables from cardiac catheterization and AVT with inhaled iloprost have important prognostic value for long-term survival in children with IPAH, of which pulmonary vasoreactivity defined by the Barst criteria and SvO2 are independent prognostic factors.

Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Determination Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Thermodilution in Pulmonary Hypertension. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11102717. [PMID: 35628843 PMCID: PMC9143884 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11102717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to measure cardiac output (CO) non-invasively, which is a paramount parameter in pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients. We retrospectively compared stroke volume (SV) obtained with MRI (SVMRI) in six localisations against SV measured with thermodilution (TD) (SVTD) and against each other in 24 patients evaluated in our PH centre using Bland and Altman (BA) agreement analyses, linear correlation, and intraclass correlation (ICC). None of the six tested localisations for SVMRI reached the predetermined criteria for interchangeability with SVTD, with two standard deviations (2SD) of bias between 24.1 mL/beat and 31.1 mL/beat. The SVMRI methods yielded better agreement when compared against each other than the comparison between SVMRI and SVTD, with the best 2SD of bias being 13.8 mL/beat. The inter-observer and intra-observer ICCs for COMRI were excellent (inter-observer ICC between 0.889 and 0.983 and intra-observer ICC between 0.991 and 0.999). We could not confirm the interchangeability of SVMRI with SVTD based on the predetermined interchangeability criteria. The lack of agreement between MRI and TD might be explained because TD is less precise than previously thought. We evaluated a new method to estimate CO through the pulmonary circulation (COp) in PH patients that may be more precise than the previously tested methods.

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. Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:776956. [PMID: 34888330 PMCID: PMC8649780 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.776956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
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 direct Fick (DF) method, due to the necessity to sample blood from the catheter-tip. We evaluated a modified DF method, which allows simultaneous measurement of mPAP and CO without needing repetitive blood samples. Methods: Twenty-four patients with pulmonary arterial or chronic thromboembolic PH had repetitive measurements of CO at rest and end-exercise during three phases of a crossover trial. CO was assessed by the original DF method using oxygen uptake, measured by a metabolic unit, and arterial and mixed venous oxygen saturations from co-oximetry of respective blood gases served as reference. These CO measurements were then compared with a modified DF method using pulse oximetry at the catheter- and fingertip. Results: The bias among CO measurements by the two DF methods at rest was −0.26 L/min with limits of agreement of ±1.66 L/min. The percentage error was 28.6%. At the end-exercise, the bias between methods was 0.29 L/min with limits of agreement of ±1.54 L/min and percentage error of 16.1%. Conclusion: Direct Fick using a catheter- and fingertip pulse oximetry (DFp) is a practicable and reliable method for assessing CO in patients with PH. This method has the advantage of allowing simultaneous measurement of PAP and CO, and frequent repetitive measurements are needed during exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac output determination is essential in precapillary pulmonary hypertension. While direct Fick is the gold standard, thermodilution is commonly used as the reference method. Moving to noninvasive methods would be highly beneficial for patients, avoiding repetitive invasive assessments. This systematic review followed 3 objectives: (1) assessing the validity of indirect Fick and thermodilution in precapillary pulmonary hypertension, (2) assessing the interchangeability of noninvasive cardiac output measurement methods against reference methods in precapillary pulmonary hypertension, and (3) detecting methodological heterogeneity in the included studies. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature using medical databases and following PRISMA guidelines. We included articles comparing an invasive or noninvasive cardiac output measurement method with thermodilution or direct Fick in precapillary pulmonary hypertension patients. Cutoffs of limits of agreement and percentage error derived from the Bland and Altman graph were used to accept interchangeability. To study methodological heterogeneity, we extracted 9 quality criteria from all studies. RESULTS Eleven studies were included. None reached the suggested interchangeability criteria. The median number of the 9 assessed quality criteria was 2 with interquartile range (0-4). CONCLUSIONS Further studies evaluating the reliability of thermodilution and the consequences of its use in precapillary pulmonary hypertension patients are necessary. No evidence supports the use of indirect Fick in precapillary pulmonary hypertension. The studied noninvasive methods could not be considered interchangeable with invasive methods. A robust methodology should be used to draw sensible conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important and effective treatment strategy for many malignancies, marrow failure syndromes, and immunodeficiencies in children, adolescents, and young adults. Despite advances in supportive care, patients undergoing transplant are at increased risk to develop cardiovascular co-morbidities. METHODS This study was performed as a feasibility study of a rapid cardiac MRI protocol to substitute for echocardiography in the assessment of left ventricular size and function, pericardial effusion, and right ventricular hypertension. RESULTS A total of 13 patients were enrolled for the study (age 17.5 ± 7.7 years, 77% male, 77% white). Mean study time was 13.2 ± 5.6 minutes for MRI and 18.8 ± 5.7 minutes for echocardiogram (p = 0.064). Correlation between left ventricular ejection fraction by MRI and echocardiogram was good (ICC 0.76; 95% CI 0.47, 0.92). None of the patients had documented right ventricular hypertension. Patients were given a survey regarding their experiences, with the majority both perceiving that the echocardiogram took longer (7/13) and indicating they would prefer the MRI if given a choice (10/13). CONCLUSION A rapid cardiac MRI protocol was shown feasible to substitute for echocardiogram in the assessment of key factors prior to or in follow-up after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a hemodynamically complex syndrome characterized by a low cardiac output that often culminates in multiorgan system failure and death. Despite recent advances, clinical outcomes remain poor, with mortality rates exceeding 40%. In the absence of adequately powered randomized controlled trials to guide therapy, best practices for shock management remain nonuniform. Emerging data from North American registries, however, support the use of standardized protocols focused on rapid diagnosis, early intervention, ongoing hemodynamic assessment, and multidisciplinary longitudinal care. In this review, the authors examine the pathophysiology and phenotypes of cardiogenic shock, benefits and limitations of current therapies, and they propose a standardized and team-based treatment algorithm. Lastly, they discuss future research opportunities to address current gaps in clinical knowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines include thermodilution cardiac index (TDCI) and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) as two of the three hemodynamic determinations used in risk assessment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). SvO2 may be a better measurement than TDCI to assess prognosis in patients with either idiopathic or heritable PAH. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the concordance between TDCI and SvO2 ESC/ERS risk group allocation and their prognostic value in patients with PAH? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS In this retrospective study, we assessed the correlation between SvO2 and TDCI in patients with idiopathic and heritable PAH. We determined concordance in the ESC/ERS risk group allocation and association with survival, both at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS A total of 158 patients (mean age, 58 ± 17 years; 72% women) with idiopathic (91%) and heritable (9%) PAH were included. There was moderate association between TDCI and SvO2 (r = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.37-0.62). Weighted kappa revealed a fair agreement between TDCI and SvO2 (κ = 0.30; 95% CI, 0.18-0.42), with concordance in risk group allocation in 49% of patients. During a median follow-up of 45 months (interquartile range, 23-105), 62 patients (39%) died. Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, survival was impacted by the SvO2 (log rank = 0.002) but not by the TDCI risk group allocation (log-rank = 0.51). Using the Cox proportional hazard model, adjusted for age and sex, SvO2 (but not TDCI) was associated with mortality (hazard ratio per 1% change, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.91-0.97; P < .001). INTERPRETATION When using the cutoffs proposed by the ESC/ERS guidelines, we noted poor concordance in risk score allocation between TDCI and SvO2. In patients with idiopathic or heritable PAH, SvO2 measurements are superior to TDCI in predicting long-term mortality.

Abstract
The recent widespread availability and use of mechanical circulatory support is transforming the management and outcomes of cardiogenic shock (CS). Clinical decision-making regarding the optimization of therapies for patients with CS can be guided effectively by hemodynamic monitoring with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). Because several studies regarding the benefit of PACs are ambiguous, the use of PACs is variable among clinicians treating patients with CS. More notable is that PAC use has not been studied as part of a randomized, controlled trial in patients with CS with or without mechanical circulatory support. Standardized approaches to hemodynamic monitoring in these patients can improve decision-making and outcomes. In this review, we summarize the hemodynamics of CS and mechanical circulatory support with PAC-derived measurements, and provide a compelling rationale for the use of PAC monitoring in patients with CS receiving mechanical circulatory support.
