SV/PP may estimate arterial compliance during catheterization; leaves open its added prognostic value in prospective cohorts.
Which hemodynamic variables are most strongly associated with arterial compliance in patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization?
The quotient of stroke volume to pulse pressure (SV/PP) provides a reliable estimate of arterial compliance using conventional hemodynamic measurements when direct calculations are not possible.
Ferguson et al. (1986) studied this question.
