If the pulmonary thermal volume is now subtracted from the intrathoracic thermal volume, the total blood volume in all 4 cardiac chambers is obtained. This is also called the global end-diastolic volume. This is a volumetric parameter that gives information about the filling condition of the heart and thus about cardiac preload. If the blood volume present in the pulmonary circulation (pulmonary blood volume, PBV) is now added to the global end-diastolic volume, the intrathoracic blood volume is obtained. This thus represents the total blood volume present in the heart and pulmonary circulat
