The cardiopulmonary flow index (CPFI) is the ratio of cardiopulmonary blood volume to stroke volume. OBJECTIVE. To compare the CPFI derived from a first-pass radiocardiogram and electrocardiogram with the usual haemodynamic measurements obtained by bedside catheterisation. DESIGN. Sixty-one patients

A 23-year-old white woman was admitted because of cardiac failure (functional class II), palpable purpura and hypereosinophilia. A month before, she had been operated due to right femoral embolus. In this occasion, enhanced cardiac size on X-ray film of the chest and 12,300 eosinophils/mm3 were obse

The ratio of the cardiopulmonary blood volume to stroke volume is called the cardiopulmonary flow index (CPFI). The CPFI can be determined indirectly from the simultaneous recording of a radiocardiogram and an electrocardiogram. The CPFI and cardiac output were measured simultaneously in horses (n =
