Stroke Volume (Doppler) in ml
Oh, J.K., J.B. Seward, A.J. Tajik. The Echo Manual. 3rd ed., Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins,
(2007), p.69-71.
SV = (CSA * VTI)
where:
CSA = Cross Sectional Area of the orifice (LVOT area)
VTI = Velocity Time Integral of the orifice
Stroke Volume (2D and M Mode) in ml

p.44.
SV = (LVEDV – LVESV)
where:
SV = Stroke Volume
LVEDV = End Diastolic Volume
LVEDSV = End Systolic Volume

Tricuspid Valve Area (TVA)
Oh, J.K., J.B. Seward, A.J. Tajik. The Echo Manual. 3rd ed., Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins,
(2007), p.73-74.
TVA = 220 / PHT
Velocity Time Integral (VTI) in cm
Reynolds, Terry. The Echocardiographer's Pocket Reference. 2nd ed., School of Cardiac Ultrasound,
Arizona Heart Institute, (2000), p.383.
VTI = absolute peak velocities integrated between two points in time, expressed in units of cm.
When using Auto Measure, VTI is always based on the peak trace and represents the distance (cm) that
blood travels in the time interval represented by the delimiters (presumably an ejection period).
