PG - e0275977 LID - 10.1371/journal.pone.0275977 [doi] LID - e0275977 AB - INTRODUCTION: Hemodynamic assessment is crucial after heart transplantation (HTX) or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Gold-standard is invasive assessment via thermodilution (TD). Noninvasive pulse contour analysis (NPCA) is a new technology that is supposed to determine hemodynamics completely noninvasive. We aimed to validate this technology in HTX and LVAD patients and conducted a prospective single-center cohort study. METHODS: Patients after HTX or LVAD implantation underwent right heart catheterization including TD. NPCA using the CNAP Monitor (V.5.2.14; CNSystems Medizintechnik AG, Graz, Austria) was performed simultaneously. Three TD measurements were compared with simultaneous NPCA measurements for hemodynamic assessment. To describe the agreement between TD and NPCA, Bland-Altman analysis was done. RESULTS: In total, 28 patients were prospectively enrolled (HTX: n = 10, LVAD: n = 18). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a mean bias of +1.05 l/min (limits of agreement +/- 4.09 l/min, percentage error 62.1%) for cardiac output (CO). In LVAD patients, no adequate NPCA signal could be obtained. In 5 patients (27.8%), any NPCA signal could be detected, but was considered as low signal quality. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, according to our limited data in a small cohort of HTX and LVAD patients, NPCA using the CNAP Monitor seems not to be suitable for noninvasive evaluation of the hemodynamic status.
