calculated as follows:
BSA = ([Height(cm) x Weight(kg)] / 3600 )
½
SV ml Stroke volume (milliliters / stroke):
SV = (C0*1000) / HR
SVR dyne-sec/cm
5
Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR). Represents the load applied to the left
ventricular muscle during ejection.
SRV = (ARTm - CVPm) * 80 / CO
PVR dyne-sec/cm
5
Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR):
PRV = (PAm - PAWP) * 80 / CO
LCW kg-m Left cardiac work:
LCW = CO * (ARTm - PAWP) * 0.0136
LVSW gm-m Left ventricular stroke work:
LVSW = SV * (ARTm - PAWP) * 0.0136
RCW kg-m Right Cardiac Work:
LVSW = SV * (ARTm - PAWP) * 0.0136
RVSW gm-m Right Ventricular Stroke Work:
RVSW = SV * (PAm - CVPm) * 0.0136

Cardiac Index:
CI = CO / BSA
