Comparisons of cardiac index, mean transit time, and “pulmonary” blood volume were made with indocyanine green dilution curves before and after transseptal left atrial puncture in 105 patients in sinus rhythm and 52 with atrial fibrillation. The results demonstrated that the steady state was not disturbed by transseptal left heart catheterization.
