Similarly one may ask, what is a normal Lvot VTI?
In a healthy population, the normal LVOT VTI is 18 to 22 cm for heart rates (HRs) between 55 and 95 beats per minute. The LVOT VTI (VTI VA) is nearly 30 cm, which, at an HR (FC) of 100 beats per minute, indicates an elevated stroke volume and cardiac output.
Also know, what is aortic VTI?
In practical terms, the flow from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) is compared to the flow at the level of the aortic valve. In echocardiography the aortic valve area is calculated using the velocity time integral (VTI) which is the most accurate method and preferred.
Velocity Time Integral (VTI, stroke distance) V = volume; t = time (seconds). However, this equation can only be used if the flow (Q) is constant, which is not the case in the heart. Blood flow is pulsatile during the cardiac cycle; flow is high during systole and ceases during diastole.
