Complex congenital heart diseases are often associated with complex alterations in hemodynamics.
Understanding these key hemodynamic changes is critical to making management decisions including
surgery and postoperative management. The congenital cardiac hemodynamic calculator can quickly
and easily calculate the extent of these hemodynamic changes. Many of the calculations used in the
evaluation of haemodynamic abnormalities are relatively simple and can be performed rapidly with a
hand held calculator or (for the mentally agile) “in the head”. Others are more complex and require a
more time consuming process of analysis of the recorded data, this is where the CCH calculator can
assist not only the congenital cardiologist but the nurses and cath lab techs also.
