Accuracy of site versus core laboratory interpretations of right heart catheterization hemodynamics
An accurate interpretation of hemodynamics measured by right heart catheterization (RHC) is crucial for guiding the management of heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. We evaluated the concordance and variability between site-reported and core laboratory-adjudicated interpretations of invasive hemodynamic measurements.
