Hemodynamic measurement is now an important and feasible adjunct to clinical practice. Its successful application to alleviate illness in human beings is evident in its contribution to an understanding of the pathophysiology of disease and the efficacy of various interventions to alter the course of a variety of diseases. Its application is widespread in the high risk patient undergoing surgery and the critically ill medically treated patient. Hemodynamic measurement permits accurate determination of the state and, if necessary, of the continuously changing function of the heart as related to disease process and guides treatment and interventions on a rational physiologic basis.
血流动力学测量如今已成为临床实践中一项重要且可行的辅助手段。它在帮助理解疾病的病理生理学以及各种改变多种疾病病程的干预措施的疗效方面发挥了作用，这清楚地表明其在减轻人类病痛方面的成功应用。它在接受手术的高危患者以及接受药物治疗的重症患者中应用广泛。血流动力学测量能够准确测定心脏的状态，必要时还能测定与疾病进程相关的心脏持续变化的功能，并在合理的生理基础上指导治疗和干预措施。
