The Doppler starling curve. The four hemodynamic phenotypes (1–4) are generated by combinations of normal and low stroke volume on the y-axis and normal or congested venous measures on the x-axis. The family of Starling curves (dotted lines) shows that a patient can have normal venous measures and be responsive (patient A, green) or unresponsive (patient B, red). If a population is studied with cardiac dysfunction, more patient B physiology will be observed
