Hemodynamic Evaluation of Congenital Heart Disease

  • Chapter
Diagnostic and Interventional Catheterization in Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

In order to assess competently the hemodynamic status of patients with congenital heart disease, a certain fundamental understanding of basic cardiovascular physiology is essential. It should be clear that the information presented in this chapter is a superficial view of a much broader field. The interested reader may consult any of a number of more detailed texts [1–3].
