An 81-year-old female with a history of HFrEF is admitted to the CCU for hemodynamic monitoring with a swan-ganz catheter. She is on a dobutamine infusion at 5 mcg/kg/min but continues to have poor cardiac output. In order to know if she would benefit from afterload reduction the SVR needs to be calculated. Calculation of the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) requires all of the following except?
