title: Measurement of intracardiac pressure through a valve-tipped catheter. Technical note.
abstract: Intracardiac pressure recording is a simple and effective way of obtaining optimal placement of the cardiac catheter during shunting procedures. We have also found this method applicable when using a catheter with a slit in its tip. Pressure waves can be accurately recorded by means of a constant rate liquid flow through the catheter.
