Cardiohaemodynamic parameters of cardiac versus non-cardiac patients
| Parameter | Cardiac (n=15) | Non-cardiac (n=36) | p Value |
| CO (l/min)* | 6.2 (5.2–7.1) | 7.9 (7.3–8.5) | 0.0019 |
| CI (l/min/m2)* | 3.1 (2.8–3.3) | 4.4 (4.0–4.7) | <0.0001 |
| SV (ml)* | 74 (62–87) | 88 (80–96) | 0.0513 |
| SVR (dyne/s/cm−5)* | 1227 (1050–1403) | 933 (836–1031) | 0.0023 |
| SVRi (dyne/s/cm−5·m2)* | 2403 (2084–2721) | 1681 (1520–1842) | <0.0001 |
↵* Mean (95% CI).
CI, cardiac index; CO, cardiac output; SV, stroke volume; SVR, systemic vascular resistance; SVRi, systemic vascular resistance index.
