Overview. An overall description of the method presented in this paper, showing the left and right FTVE waveforms (the right half of the figure), with the four points required to reconstruct them, and the pressure waveforms (the left half of the figure) which are used to generate the correlations and the final approximations. The large hollow arrows show the general flow of information, while the smaller arrows show more fine grained flow. The left ventricle FTVE (top right) is estimated solely from the shown points on the aortic pressure, while the right ventricle FTVE (bottom right) is estimated from the estimation of the left ventricle FTVE, along with timing from the pulmonary artery pressure and GEDV.
