LVOT diameter

LVOT VTI

Sample Calculation

RVOT diameter

RVOT VTI

The equation for right sided cardiac output  (Qp) over left sided cardiac output (Qs) is

​

​

Qp = [(RVOT diameter/2)^2*pi] * RVOT VTI

Qs = [(LVOT diameter/2)^2*pi] * LVOT VTI

​

pi cancels out since it is in the numerator and denominator so this =

​

(2.4cm/2)^2*23cm

 (1.9cm/2)^2*22cm

​

= 33.2/19,9 = 1.7
