Abstract

Experimental studies have shown that inferior vena cava blood passes through the right atrium mainly to the right ventricle. Ductus venosus blood, which contains well-oxygenated umbilical blood, passes through the foramen ovale to the left atrium and left ventricle. Thus, S and D wave of DV waveforms could reflect the hemodynamic status of the left ventricle whereas S and D wave IVC waveforms could reflect the hemodynamic status of the right ventricle.
