A validation study comparing Cheetah monitor cardiac output to thermodilution cardiac output in patients with severe mitral regurgitation

Puntos clave

• Cardiac output measured by Cheetah monitor shows high correlation with thermodilution measurements, validating its use.
• Correlation coefficient of 0.89 demonstrates a strong agreement between the two methods in assessing cardiac output.
• Observational analysis utilizes data from patients with severe mitral regurgitation undergoing monitoring.
• Findings suggest the Cheetah monitor may be a reliable alternative to thermodilution for measuring cardiac output.
