Supports impedance cardiography for serial hemodynamic assessment across conditions; extends validation data but leaves open effects on clinical outcomes.
Does impedance cardiography provide reproducible measurements of cardiac output and other haemodynamic parameters during postural changes and exercise?
Non-invasive impedance cardiography provides a reproducible means to evaluate cardiac output and other hemodynamic variables during different postures and light-to-moderate exercise.
Schultz et al. (2012) studied this question.
