Overview
While echocardiography remains the diagnostic imaging modality of choice, cardiac catheterization is useful to evaluate tricuspid stenosis when the results of the non-invasive testing are insufficient, particularly among patients who are being evaluated for other conditions such as mitral stenosis and pulmonary hypertension.[1] In the older pre-surgery population, cardiac catheterization may be necessary in order to assess concomitant artery disease.
Cardiac Catheterization
Catheterization of the right heart is useful for the evaluation of:
- The gradient across the tricuspid valve
- Associated congenital defects
Catheterization of the left heart is useful for the assessment of hemodynamic changes related to the aortic and mitral valves in patients with rheumatic heart disease.
