Improved pressure contour analysis for estimating cardiac stroke volume using pulse wave velocity measurement

Abstract Background Pressure contour analysis is commonly used to estimate cardiac performance for patients suffering from cardiovascular dysfunction in the intensive care unit. However, the existing techniques for continuous estimation of stroke volume (SV) from pressure measurement can be unreliab...
