Doppler Stroke Volume & CO (LVOT-VTI)

Doppler stroke volume and cardiac output from the LVOT: cross-sectional area (from diameter) × velocity-time integral, indexed to BSA.

Example

LVOT diameter
2.2 cm
LVOT VTI
22 cm
Heart rate
70 bpm
Body surface area
1.9 m²

Result: Stroke volume 83.6 mL; cardiac output 5.85 L/min; CI 3.08 L/min/m².

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Normal
Stroke-volume index 35–47 mL/m²; cardiac index 2.5–4.0 L/min/m².

How this is calculated
Formula
LVOT area = π·(D/2)²; SV = area·VTI; CO = SV·HR/1000; SVI = SV/BSA; CI = CO/BSA.
