May refine risk assessment in older hypertensives; leaves open whether impedance cardiography adds value beyond conventional predictors.
Does baseline non-invasive hemodynamic measurement by impedance cardiography predict cardiovascular events in hypertensive outpatients older than 50 years?
Non-invasive hemodynamic measurement using impedance cardiography provides independent prognostic value for cardiovascular events in older hypertensive patients.
