Abstract
Traditionally measured with invasive methods or specialized equipment, stroke volume and cardiac output can be determined reliably with transthoracic echocardiography. This video guides the viewer in a step-by-step fashion through the technical aspects of Doppler echocardiographic assessment of cardiac output.
