M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography allow non-invasive estimation of left ventricular stroke volume and cardiac output, which is particularly suited for hypertensive patients.
Can M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography be used to estimate cardiac output and stroke volume in hypertensive patients?
M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography provide a non-invasive means to estimate cardiac output and stroke volume, which is particularly applicable to the assessment of hypertensive patients.
The development of echocardiography has permitted non-invasive estimation of left ventricular stroke volume and cardiac output, albeit with some limitations. These approaches are particularly suited to hypertensive patients.
Wallerson et al. (1990) studied this question. M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography allow non-invasive estimation of left ventricular stroke volume and cardiac output, which is particularly suited for hypertensive patients.
