Normative SVC flow velocities and waveforms now defined in healthy adults; extends echocardiographic references but leaves open diagnostic utility.
What are the normal superior vena caval blood flow velocities and waveforms in healthy adults measured by Doppler echocardiography?
This study establishes the normal patterns and ranges of superior vena caval blood flow velocities using Doppler echocardiography in healthy adults.
Cohen et al. (1986) studied this question.
