Measurement of cardiac output by impedance cardiography in patients with myocardial infarction. Comparative evaluation of impedance and dye dilution methods. 1976

S Gabriel, and J H Atterhög, and L Orö, and L G Ekelund

The cardiac output was measured simultaneously by the impedance cardiography and dye dilution methods in 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction 2-3 weeks after admission to the Coronary Care Unit. The impedance cardiac output was on the average 9.7% higher than the dye dilution cardiac output. The reproducibility of impedance cardiac output 4.1%, compared with 5.1% for the dye dilution method. The study showed a satisfactory reliability of impedance in predicting the relative changed of cardiac output in response to tilting from the supine to the 30 degrees head-up position, to a 10 degrees head-down position, and to the intravenous administration of propranolol.
