Comparison of Doppler echocardiography with thermodilution for assessing cardiac output in advanced congestive heart failure

A Gola et al. Am J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Noninvasive cardiac output estimation by Doppler echocardiography was compared with thermodilution and Fick oxygen methods in 73 patients with advanced chronic congestive heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy. In these patients, Doppler echocardiographic measurements showed a closer agreement with Fick measurements than that of thermodilution.
