Impedance cardiography--a reliable method for measuring cardiac function noninvasively. 1984

J Venitz, and P W Lücker

The paper describes a new and further developed assessment for the measuring of cardiac function with impedance cardiography. The method is described in detail including the mathematical equations leading to the results. The relevance for clinical pharmacology is shown by one example with a beta 1-, beta 2-mimetic compound.

D002307	Cardiography, Impedance	A type of impedance plethysmography in which bioelectrical impedance is measured between electrodes positioned around the neck and around the lower thorax. It is used principally to calculate stroke volume and cardiac volume, but it is also related to myocardial contractility, thoracic fluid content, and circulation to the extremities.
