  1. Results for different methods of measuring PBV, including adjustment of PBV for mean left atrial volume (LAVmean). Indexation for PBV by body surface area (BSA). Note that PBV for CoG(PA-LA) excludes the LAV, see Fig. 1
  2. PTB(FPP) pulmonary transit time, pulmonary transit beats; peak-peak(FPP) pulmonary transit time, peak to peak; CoG(FPP) pulmonary transit time, center of gravity; RVSV right ventricular stroke volume
