Velocity (cm/s)
Flow time corrected for heart rate (FTc) Mean acceleration of the aortic flow:
Like flow time, correlates with left ventricular afterload and
correlates with left ventricular afterload preload. Not specific, and so not used very often.
AND with left ventricular preload
i.e. this is your SVRI.
A loss of ventricular preload will also usually result
in an increase in afterload (systemic resistance
must rise to maintain a reasonable mean arterial
pressure) – and so this is also a surrogate
measure of left ventricular preload.
