Doppler echocardiography can provide a noninvasive measure of these parameters, but its accuracy in individual measurements, predicting hemodynamic subgroups, and in tracking serial changes in critically ill patients remains to be elucidated. Left ventricular filling pressure and cardiac index were assessed in 49 critically ill patients requiring right heart catheterization and Doppler echocardiographic studies.
