Hepatic vein · expiratory reversal calculator
Explore hepatic vein · expiratory reversal with the method’s inputs, acquisition guidance and source references. Open the calculator to enter measurements or try an illustrative worked example.
Method
Reversal ratio = expiratory diastolic reverse velocity / expiratory diastolic forward velocity
Use the measurement units shown below. Some fields apply only to a selected method or condition; follow the interactive tool’s method choices. The interactive tool keeps missing measurements incomplete and provides its method-specific results and reference context.
Measurements and acquisition
Expiratory Dᵣ reversal cm/s
Enter the measured value in the displayed unit
- Confirm the variable matches the selected formula.
- Use the unit displayed beside the field.
- Keep measurements from the same representative hemodynamic state.
Expiratory D forward cm/s
Enter the measured value in the displayed unit
- Confirm the variable matches the selected formula.
- Use the unit displayed beside the field.
- Keep measurements from the same representative hemodynamic state.
