Relationship Between Noninvasive Assessment of Lung Fluid Volume and Invasively Measured Cardiac Hemodynamics.

ABSTRACT: Background Right heart catheterization is the gold standard in clinical practice for the assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics, but it is an invasive procedure requiring expertise in both insertion and reading. Remote dielectric sensing (Re DS ) is a noninvasive electromagnetic-based technology intended to quantify lung fluid content. Methods and Results In this prospective single-center study, Re DS readings were obtained in supine position just before right heart catheterization procedure in patients with heart failure. Agreement between Re DS and pulmonary artery wedge pressure ( PAWP ) was analyzed. Of all, 139 patients with heart failure received hemodynamic assessment and Re DS measurement. A good correlation was found between Re DS and PAWP measurement ( r=0.492, P<0.001). Recei
