Measurement of cardiac output by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography: application to patients with hypertension

Eur Heart J. 1990 Dec:11 Suppl I:67-78. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/11.suppl_i.67.

Abstract

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.
