So, I guess,s unlike a RH catheriziation, in the LH heart, you do not enter the atriuam or the ventricle, but only assess the coronary arteries which are epicardially placed. ? We do not take direct pressure measurement of the Left side of the heart, correct ?
Hi DR ROB ATTARAN my ejection fraction ; calculated left ventricular EF was 41% Echo conclusion ; LVEF 55-60 % , trace MR/TR can you tell i need to do heart cat. thank you

You can advance a catheter through the aortic valve into the LV and measure LV pressure. But typically no other chamber pressures are measured.
