Test-retest reproducibility of maximum cardiac output by Doppler echocardiography

Am J Cardiol. 1998 May 15;81(10):1228-30. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00099-x.

Abstract

Test-retest reproducibility of stroke volume and cardiac output using Doppler echocardiography was examined during maximum cycle exercise in 13 young men. A coefficient of variation of 8.5% and 8.1% and intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.90 and 0.91 for maximum stroke volume and cardiac output, respectively, indicate a high degree of reproducibility using this technique.
