The mitral inflow method of measuring cardiac output with pulsed Doppler two-dimensional echocardiography was developed and validated against the thermodilution technique in 42 patients. A mitral inflow method combined the velocity of left ventricular inflow at the mitral annulus (apical long-axis view) with the cross-sectional area of the annulus calculated from its diameter (parasternal long-axis view). A good correlation was observed between thermodilution and Doppler measurements of cardiac output (r = 0.93). The ratio of Doppler measurements to thermodilution measurements will be between 0.76 and 1.15 for about 95% of cases. There was a good correlation between percentage change in thermal cardiac output and those in Doppler cardiac output (r = 0.95); the limits of agreement were -11.5% to 10.5%, suggesting that this method can be most useful for assessing relative changes in cardiac output.
