A good estimate requires that the cursor and the jet has a parallel alignment. Angle correction can be applied using built in software in most echocardiographic machines if proper alignment is not possible. But the errors will be high if the mal-alignment is more than 20 degrees. Normal aortic velocity is around 1 m\/s. Usually aortic flow is measured from the apical five chamber view.

VTI is measured by tracing the outline of the aortic systolic flow envelope. Area of the envelope will correspond to the VTI and it is calculated automatically and displayed by the computer algorithm of the echocardiograph. VTI will correspond to the stroke volume ejected in each cycle. Product of the cross sectional area of the aortic valve and&nbsp;the VTI will correspond to&nbsp;the forward stroke volume.
