Agreement of thermodilution and direct Fick methods for cardiac output across varying haemodynamic conditions
Although TD shows a predictable bias across flow states, it remains a clinically reliable method for estimating elevated PVR. These findings support the clinical utility of TD in PH assessment, while emphasizing the need for direct Fick measurement in low-output states-particularly in patients evaluated for advanced therapies such as transplantation.
