Abstract

Right heart catheterization (RHC) plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of heart conditions, such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. RHC monitors pressure parameters and oxygen levels within the heart and lungs. The understanding of RHC is less common among non-cardiologists despite its significant role and widespread applications in diagnosing and managing life-threatening diseases.


Physicians other than cardiologists, including those in critical care and internal medicine, may find it invaluable to understand RHC, especially in the context of volume overload. Knowledge of the implication of RHC findings, especially in critical care settings where prompt decisions are vital, can help improve patient management techniques by providing comprehensive patient evaluation.


Moreover, non-cardiologists who are aware of the indications and implications of RHC can work together more effectively with cardiologists in managing patients with complex cardiovascular diseases. This review aims to enhance the understanding of right heart catheterization’s role in cardiovascular conditions, especially volume overload, particularly among non – cardiologists.
