Training activity information
Details
Interpret invasive haemodynamic data for patients presenting with the following pathologies:
- Heart failure
- Valve disease
- Pulmonary hypertension
- Pre/post TAVI
- ASD/PFO closure
- CAD
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Cardiac cycles
- Haemodynamic systems
- Local, national and international guidelines
- Patient pathways and management
- Patient and carer communication
- Multidisciplinary team liaison
- Normal and abnormal ranges
- Equipment
- Range of procedures
- Changes in state pre and post haemodynamic conditions.
- Further invasive diagnostic tests e.g., OCT, IVUS and FFR etc
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 6 |
Outcome
Interpret haemodynamic data for patients presenting to the cardiac cath lab with a range of conditions, recognising the role of these procedures within the patient pathway, limitations of diagnostics and troubleshooting where required. |
| # 8 |
Outcome
Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively with patients, carers and the wider multidisciplinary team. |
