Abstract: Hemodynamic assessment remains the most valuable adjunct to physical examination and laboratory evaluation in the diagnosis and management of cardiogenic shock. A myriad of hemodynamic monitoring devices, with varying degree of invasiveness, exist that rely on different physiological principles.1 Pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has long been considered the gold standard of hemodynamic assessment in patients with cardiogenic shock and in recent years has been shown to improve clinical outcomes.2 While PAC provides comprehensive hemodynamic assessment at rest, it is inherently limited in assessing myocardial reserve with exertion in critically ill patients.
