Extended daily monitoring improves cardiac output reproducibility in dogs; extends acute methods but leaves open translation to clinical research.
Does continuous measurement of cardiac output for 20 h/day improve day-by-day reproducibility compared to 30-min acute measurements in chronically instrumented dogs?
Continuous monitoring of cardiac output over 20 hours daily significantly improves day-by-day reproducibility compared to acute 30-minute measurements in a canine model.
