Abstrakt: The aim of the investigation was to develop a quantitative method of determining the cardiac output by the thermodilution principle in patients with congenital heart diseases accompanied by a pathological arteriovenous shunt. A method of graphic analysis of the curves based on standard ratios between heights of the descending part is suggested. Values of left-right shunts similar to results obtained by the Fick method can be obtained by the method now suggested.
