Which hemodynamic value reflects the amount of work required by the right ventricle to pump blood?
A) RVSWI
B) SV
C) SVI
D) RAP

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RVSWI (Right Ventricular Stroke Work Index) reflects the amount of work done by the right ventricle to pump blood. It takes into account both the stroke volume and the right ventricular systolic pressure, making it an accurate measure of the right ventricle's workload. SV (stroke volume), SVI (stroke volume index), and RAP (right atrial pressure) do not directly reflect the right ventricle's workload.
