PY - 2017 T2 - Interventional Cardiology, 2e AB - The catheterization laboratory continues to evolve with time, initially concentrating on hemodynamic assessment of the heart and, in particular, valvular heart disease, before becoming very “coronary-centric” with the advent of balloon angioplasty and the heightened prevalence of coronary artery disease. As we enter the next phase of evolution, the catheter-based treatments of structural heart disease are bringing back some of the early lessons of the importance of ventricular performance and its evaluation. Complicating the transition is the need to synthesize information across multiple noninvasive and invasive modalities of cardiac assessment to determine clinical decision making for individual patients.
