  • Title: Physiologic significance of hemodynamic measurements and their derived indices.
    Author: Gilbert BW, Hew EM.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1979 Oct 06; 121(7):871-6. PubMed ID: 497977.
    Abstract:
    The fundamental value of hemodynamic monitoring is that it provides direct physiological measurements. The appropriate use of these requires an understanding of normal cardiac physiology and its alterations in certain disease states. An appreciation of the determinants of cardiac output, coronary blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption will improve the interpretation and subsequent manipulation of these values when one is confronted with them clinically.
