Right Heart Caths

This module focuses on interpretation of right heart catheterizations. It will teach you how to systematically interpret right heart catheterization data. This includes using the data to identify Stevenson heart failure profiles as well as how to characterize pulmonary hypertension. The program generates randomized practice problems so you can practice interpreting to your heart’s content (pun intended)!

The module also offers a section to learn basic waveforms to help you understand where some of the numbers come from. Try your hand at recognizing which cardiac chamber the waveforms correlate to. Then culminate your knowledge and try to identify the heart failure and pulmonary hypertension diagnoses only using the waveforms!
