Popis: The stroke volume (SV) is a parameter widely used to assess over-all myocardial function. The ability to accurately estimate SV in a noninvasive manner would be helpful in dynamic clinical situations, such as the postoperative state. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how SV obtained by echocardiography and radionuclide angiography compared with SV obtained at cardiac catheterization. We used the Fick principle, dye dilution methods, and contrast angiography as the invasive techniques for comparison.
