Dynamic computed tomography to determine cardiac output in patients with left ventricular assist devices Subha V. Raman, MD, MSEE, Tam Tran, BS, Orlando P.

Figure 1 A, Volume rendering of computed tomography (CT) images demonstrates the position of the outflow cannula and aorta in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. B, C, and D are axial CT images of the test bolus scan at serial time points after injection of contrast showing subsequent enhancement of the superior vena cava (SVC), main pulmonary artery (MPA), and ascending aorta (AAo). The average signal intensity within a region of interest placed in the AAo is 2, 24, and 128 Hounsfield units on these serial images.

Figure 2 The average signal intensity in a region of interest drawn on the test bolus images in the distal ascending aorta versus time during injection of a small bolus of contrast. The blue dots represent the raw data, and the dotted pink line represents the gamma variate curve fit. HU, Hounsfield units.

Figure 3 A, Linear regression between calculated cardiac output using the dynamic computed tomography technique and measured cardiac output using catheter thermodilution shows good agreement, with correlation coefficient of B, Linear regression between the device cardiac output readout and thermodilution measurement shows poor agreement, with correlation coefficient of 0.14.

Figure 4 Bland-Altman plot shows the difference between the two cardiac output (CO) measurement techniques versus the average value obtained with the 2 techniques. The mean difference was 0.54 L/min, with a 95% confidence interval difference of 0.66 to 0.94 L/min.
