The present invention provides a system and method for estimating a blood flow waveform contour from a pressure signal. An arterial or ventricular pressure signal is acquired from a pressure sensor. Landmark points are identified on the pressure waveform that correspond to features of a flow waveform. In one embodiment, the landmark pressure waveform points correspond to the onset of flow, the peak flow, and the end of the systolic ejection phase. The landmark pressure waveform points define a contour that approximates the flow contour. Beat-by-beat flow contour estimation can be performed to allow computation of flow-related hemodynamic parameters such as stroke volume or cardiac output for use in patient monitoring and/or therapy management.
