Why Use Aortic Pulsatility Index (API) Rather than Cardiac Power Output (CPO) for Cardiogenic Shock

Why should we even use API?

 Why don't we use a cardiac power output? And the reality is, as I mentioned before, cardiac power output is not validated in this patient population.

And when I say this patient population, I mean those with decompensated heart failure.

One of the reasons why it is said that we should use the aortic pulsatility index, and I'm gonna quote the authors here, is that it quote "simultaneously represents cardiac function as well as filling pressures". And this was stated by Belkin and his team, which again, these are the pioneers reporting all the first data that that comes to API.
