Understanding the Right Heart Catheter test

The Right Heart Catheter (also known as cardiac catheterisation) is the 'gold standard' test to diagnose #PulmonaryHypertension. As an invasive test, we know that it can be a worry for some people with suspected PH. We've put together this video with Dr Charlie Elliott, a consultant who has performed hundreds of these procedures, to answer common questions and concerns. ------ During cardiac catheterisation you lie still while a catheter (a long, thin, flexible tube) is inserted into a vein in your groin or neck and fed through to your pulmonary artery. During the procedure you are connected to an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine and also have your blood pressure and oxygen levels in your blood monitored. The catheter can be used to take blood samples from different parts of the circulatory system. ------ #diagnosingpulmonaryhypertension #diagnosingph #testsforph #testsforpulmonaryhypertension #cardiaccatheterisation #rightheartcatheter #rhc
