Right ventricular echocardiographic parameters and prediction of stroke volume in ischemic cardiogenic shock: A retrospective study

J Crit CarePublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

RVOT VTI correlated better (albeit weakly) to and best predicted SV compared to TAPSE, RV S', and TR Vmax in patients admitted to intensive care with CS.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Correlation with SV

RVOT VTI correlated best to SV

r = 0.39 p = 0.01

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) correlation to SV

r = 0.26 p = 0.01

RV S' correlation to SV

r = 0.15 p = 0.21

TR Vmax correlation to SV

r = 0.03 p = 0.78

Observational data: associations, not effects.
