Modelflow via Finapres lacks agreement with thermodilution in healthy elderly; leaves open validation with calibration or in other cohorts.
Does Finapres arterial pulse wave analysis with Modelflow reliably assess cardiac output compared to invasive thermodilution in healthy elderly subjects?
The non-invasive Modelflow method using Finapres is inaccurate for assessing cardiac output in healthy elderly subjects without invasive calibration.
