Minimally invasive estimation of ventricular dead space volume through use of Frank-Starling curves.

Minimally invasive estimation of ventricular dead space volume through use of Frank-Starling curves.

This paper develops a means of more easily and less invasively estimating ventricular dead space volume (Vd), an important, but difficult to measure physiological parameter. Vd represents a subject and condition dependent portion of measured ventricular volume that is not actively participating in v...
