Summary

This study will assess the reliability of POC ultrasound in estimating right and left atrium pressures in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. This study will compare hemodynamic measurements obtained from pulmonary artery catheters with those estimated from POC ultrasound using inferior vena cava (IVC) measurements and the presence of atrial septal bulge.

Detailed description

For those patients admitted to the CCU who have pulmonary artery catheters placed by the primary team as part of their medical care, the investigators will collect hemodynamic data from their pulmonary artery catheters and echocardiographic data. Echocardiographic and hemodynamic data obtained from pulmonary artery catheters will be simultaneously collected at baseline (within 24 hours of catheter placement) and after 24 and 48 hours of intensive medical therapy if the pulmonary artery catheter is still in place at those times. The placement of the pulmonary artery catheter and the taking of hemodynamic measurements from the catheter will be done as per the primary medical team. The research team will not place any pulmonary artery catheters.

Conditions
