2 Calculation. 3 Average values. ... In physiology and medicine, the body surface area ... The Mosteller formula is also commonly used, ...
Per [Mostller, R.D., (1987). Simplified calculation of body-surface area. The NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL of MEDICINE, 317, 1098.] the correct number is 3131 for half-english calculations. I have no idea where 3125 keeps coming from but it's not part of Dr. Mosteller's formula. 63.224.82.78 16:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
The cardiac index (CI) is a hemodynamic measure that represents the cardiac output (CO) of an individual divided by their body surface area (BSA), expressed in liters per minute per square meter (L/min/m²). This parameter provides a more accurate assessment of heart function relative to the size of the individual, as opposed to absolute ...
To estimate the body surface area of a burn, the rule of nines assigns BSA values to each major body part: [3] This allows the emergency medical provider to obtain a quick estimate of how much body surface area is burned. For example, if a patient's entire back (18%) and entire left leg (18%) are burned, about 36% of the patient's BSA is affected.
The volume of the heart's left atrium (left atrial volume) is an important biomarker for cardiovascular physiology and clinical cardiology. It is usually calculated as left atrial volume index in terms of body surface area .
For children and infants, the Lund and Browder chart is used to assess the burned body surface area. Different percentages are used because the ratio of the combined surface area of the head and neck to the surface area of the limbs is typically larger in children than that of an adult. [2] Typical values for common groups of humans follow. [3 ...

This gives an LV stroke volume of 3.14 * 24 = 75.40 cc. Divide the LV stroke volume, 75.40 cc by the Aortic Valve VTI, 50 cm and this gives an aortic valve area of 75.40 / 50 = 1.51 cm 2. The weakest aspect of this calculation is the variability in measurement of LVOT area, because it involves squaring the LVOT dimension.
