Impedance Cardiography: Noninvasive Measurement of Cardiac Stroke Volume and Thoracic Fluid Content

Temporal stability of ambulatory stroke volume and cardiac output measured by impedance cardiography.

UNLABELLED Recently, devices have become available that allow non-invasive measurement of stroke volume and cardiac output through ambulatory thorax impedance recording. If such recordings have adequate temporal stability, they offer great potential to further our understanding of how repeated or chronic cardiovascular activation in response to naturalistic events may contribute to cardiovascul...

Portable Impedance Cardiography System for Real-Time Noninvasive Cardiac Output Measurement

Impedance cardiography (ICG) is the only known method that can observe the continuous left ventricular volume changes non-invasively and conveniently. This paper proposes to develop a portable ICG system for long-term continuous cardiac activity monitoring using the impedance technique. This ICG system combines the advance analog amplifier with the calculation power of digital signal processing...

The Stroke Volume and the Cardiac Output by the Impedance Cardiography

Acest studiu este despre impedanţa cardiacă, utilizată pentru determinarea volumul sanguin, pompat de vetricul stang la o singura contractie a inimii, şi a debitul cardiac. În majoritatea articolelor privind acest subiect, persoanele participante la experiment prezintă probleme cardiace. Din acest motiv au fost efectuate teste atât pe subiecţi sănătoşi cât şi pe subiecţi diagnosticaţi cu afecţi...

Is measurement of cardiac output using impedance cardiography accurate?

Thoracic fluid content and impedance cardiography: a novel and promising noninvasive method for assessing the hemodynamic effects of diuretics in hypertensive patients.

INTRODUCTION Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a reliable, noninvasive method allowing the assessment of the hemodynamic profile in hypertensive patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential hemodynamic effects of diuretics with ICG and examine whether the empiric administration of diuretics actually has a substantial impact on thoracic fluid content (TFC). METHODS The study popu...
