Key result
Dye dilution shows good reproducibility and remains the reference standard for measuring cardiac output.
Why the study?
The dye dilution method remains the standard for measuring cardiac output and requires evaluation of its usefulness and comparison with other methods.
Is the dye dilution method useful and reliable for measuring cardiac output compared to other methods?
Is the dye dilution method useful and reliable for measuring cardiac output compared to other methods?
The dye dilution technique is a reproducible standard for measuring cardiac output, suitable for resting and exercising subjects, and serves as a reference for validating other methods.

Supports dye dilution as reference for cardiac output measurement; leaves open need for updated head-to-head validation against modern techniques.
Leeuw et al. (1990) reported a review. Dye dilution method vs. Thermodilution was evaluated. The dye dilution method for measuring cardiac output shows good reproducibility and remains the standard method against which other techniques like thermodilution should be validated.
