In response to the comment on a “Presentation of a novel method to estimate analog mean systemic filling pressure based on cardiac power”
摘要
We thank the authors for their interest in our work and their valuable comments. Our response addresses three main points. First, we clarify that the method we presented, deriving mean systemic filling pressure (MSFP) from cardiac power, is a simplification of the Parkin formula. This formula has been validated in both experimental and clinical studies, and we have confirmed its correlation with our approach across different populations. Second, we emphasize the advantage of our method over the Parkin approach: it does not require patient-specific variables such as age, weight, or height, nor does it rely on the assumption of a constant venous-to-arterial compliance ratio (Cv/Ca) of 25:1, which may not always apply. Finally, we identify a critical inconsistency in the authors’ simulation model, which yields physiologically impossible values, with venous return resistance exceeding total systemic resistance. This issue highlights the need for further reevaluation.
