Overview

[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other Imaging Findings

[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:

Cardiac catheterization can be of value in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, after collecting clinical and noninvasive data, to confirm and/or demonstrate the following:

  • Severity of pulmonary arterial hypertension
  • Conduit patency and pressure gradient
  • Coexisting coronary artery anomalies (rare)
  • Degree of shunting

Cardiac catheterization permits the examination of the intracardiac structure and exclusion of potentially reversible causes of pulmonary hypertension, as well as assessment of ventricular function, examination of the intracardiac shunt, determination of pulmonary artery pressure and flow, and calculation of pulmonary vascular resistance. Hemodynamic assessment has prognostic predictive value. In one study, diastolic pulmonary artery pressures of at least 45 mm Hg and World Health Organization (WHO) classification 3-4 were associated with progression of disease.
