SVR Calculator
Compute systemic vascular resistance from MAP, CVP, and cardiac output.
Description
Compute systemic vascular resistance from MAP, CVP, and cardiac output.
SVR Calculator is a focused biology tool that compute systemic vascular resistance from MAP, CVP, and cardiac output. It calculates locally from the values you enter and exposes the result without changing the source observations.1
When to use SVR Calculator
Use SVR Calculator when you need to compute systemic vascular resistance from MAP, CVP, and cardiac output. Enter Mean arterial pressure, Central venous pressure, and Cardiac output using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.
- Mean arterial pressure
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in mmHg.
- Central venous pressure
- A finite measured or assumed value, expressed in mmHg.
- Cardiac output
- A finite measured or assumed value greater than or equal to 5e-324, expressed in L/min.
How SVR Calculator calculates the result
The published tool contract uses this rule: Compute systemic vascular resistance from MAP, CVP, and cardiac output.
- Systemic vascular resistance
- The calculated systemic vascular resistance in dyn·s/cm⁵.
Limitations of SVR Calculator
The calculation does not propagate measurement uncertainty, sampling error, or biological and chemical variability. It is informational and cannot diagnose a condition, select treatment, or replace professional interpretation of the original measurements.
Alternative or Complementary measurements
Retain the original Mean arterial pressure, Central venous pressure, and Cardiac output values and their units alongside the result. PVR Calculator is useful when you instead need to compute pulmonary vascular resistance from mean PAP, left atrial pressure, and cardiac output. Airway Resistance provides another view by helping you compute airway resistance as peak pressure minus plateau pressure divided by inspiratory flow.
