  • Impedance Cardiography Versus Echocardiography
    Journal of Perinatology (2013) 33, 675–680 & 2013 Nature America, Inc. All rights reserved 0743-8346/13 www.nature.com/jp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Noninvasive cardiac monitoring in pregnancy: impedance cardiography versus echocardiography J Burlingame1, P Ohana2, M Aaronoff1 and T Seto3 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to report thoracic impedance cardiography (ICG) measurements and compare them with echocardiography (echo) measurements throughout pregnancy and in varied maternal positions. METHOD: A prospective cohort study involving 28 healthy parturients was performed using ICG and echo at three time points and in two maternal positions. Pearson’s correlations, Bland–Altman plots and paired t-tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULT: Significant agreements between many but not all ICG and echo contractility, flow and resistance measurements were demonstrated. Differences in stroke volume (SV) due to maternal position were also detected by ICG in the antepartum (AP) period. Significant trends were observed by ICG for cardiac output and thoracic fluid content (TFC; Po0.025) with advancing pregnancy stages. CONCLUSION: ICG and echo demonstrate significant correlations in some but not all measurements of cardiac function. ICG has the ability to detect small changes in SV associated with maternal position change. ICG measurements reflected maximal cardiac contractility in the a AP period yet reflected a decrease in contractility and an increase in TFC in the postpartum period.

Four small sensors send and receive a low amplitude electrical current through the thorax to detect the level of change in resistance in the thoracic fluid. With each cardiac cycle, fluid levels change, which affects the impedance to the electrical signal transmitted by the sensors. Advanced ICG algorithm Philips ICG uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the level of change in impedance, to generate the ICG wave, and to calculate or derive hemodynamic parameters.

  • Impedance Cardiography
    Impedance Cardiography Client: Professor Webster Advisor: Mr. Amit Nimunkar Leader: Jacob Meyer Communicator: David Schreier BSAC: Tian Zhao BWIG: Ross Comer I. Problem Statement Current methods for measuring cardiac output are invasive. Impedance Cardiography is a non-invasive medical procedure utilized in order to properly analyze and depict the flow of blood through the body. With this technique, four electrodes are attached to the body—two on the neck and two on the chest—which take beat by beat measurements of blood volume and velocity changes in the aorta. However, our client hypothesizes that the current method withholds degrees of inaccuracy due to the mere fact that the electrodes are placed too far from the heart. The goal of this project is to design an accurate, reusable, spatially specific system that ensures more accurate and reliable cardiographic readings. Furthermore, this system must produce consistent results able to be accurately interpreted by industry professionals. More specifically, this semester our precise goal is to begin experimental impedance testing on human subjects using an electrode array, placing electrodes directly over the aorta, and using a custom circuit to filter out our signal. II. Background It is frequently necessary in the hospital setting to assess the state of a patient’s circulation. Here the determination of simple measurements, such as heart rate and blood pressure, may be adequate for most patients, but if there is a cardiovascular condition such as sepsis or cardiomyopathy then a more detailed approach is needed. In order to non-invasively gather specific measurements on the volume of blood pumped by the heart (cardiac output) through the aorta, the technique of impedance cardiography can be used [3].

  • Impact of Impedance Cardiography on Diagnosis and Therapy of Emergent Dyspnea: the ED-IMPACT Trial
    CLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS Impact of Impedance Cardiography on Diagnosis and Therapy of Emergent Dyspnea: The ED-IMPACT Trial W. Frank Peacock, MD, Richard L. Summers, MD, Jody Vogel, MD, Charles E. Emerman, MD Abstract Background: Dyspnea is one of the most common emergency department (ED) symptoms, but early diag- nosis and treatment are challenging because of multiple potential causes. Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive method to measure hemodynamics that may assist in early ED decision making. Objectives: To determine the rate of change in working diagnosis and initial treatment plan by adding ICG data during the course of ED clinical evaluation of elder patients presenting with dyspnea. Methods: The authors studied a convenience sample of dyspneic patients 65 years and older who were presenting to the EDs of two urban academic centers. The attending emergency physician was initially blinded to the ICG data, which was collected by research staff not involved in patient care. At initial ED presentation, after history and physical but before central lab or radiograph data were returned, the at- tending ED physician completed a case report form documenting diagnosis and treatment plan. The phy- sician then was shown the ICG data and the same information was again recorded. Pre- and post-ICG differences were analyzed. Results: Eighty-nine patients were enrolled, with a mean age of 74.8 Æ 7.0 years; 52 (58%) were African American, 42 (47%) were male. Congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the most common final diagnoses, occurring in 43 (48%), and 20 (22%), respectively. ICG data changed the working diagnosis in 12 (13%; 95% CI = 7% to 22%) and medications administered in 35 (39%; 95% CI = 29% to 50%).

  • Impedance Cardiography: a Valuable Method of Evaluating Haemodynamic Parameters
    Cardiology Journal 2007, Vol. 14, No. 2, pp. 115–126 Copyright © 2007 Via Medica REVIEW ARTICLE ISSN 1507–4145 Impedance cardiography: A valuable method of evaluating haemodynamic parameters Tomasz Sodolski and Andrzej Kutarski Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Lublin, Poland Abstract This year marks 40 years since the technique was designed of measuring and monitoring the basic haemodynamic parameters in humans by means of impedance cardiography (ICG), also known as “impedance plethysmography of the chest”, “electrical bioimpedance of the chest” or “reocardiography”. The method makes it possible to denote stroke volume and cardiac output. It also enables the factors to be assessed that influence the following: preload (measurement of thoracic fluid content), afterload (measurement of systemic vascular resistance), the systemic vascular resistance index, contractibility (measurement of the acceleration index), the velocity index, the pre-ejection period, left ventricular ejection time, systolic time ratio and heart rate. Advances in hardware and software, including digital signal tooling and new algorithms, have certainly improved the quality of the results obtained. The accuracy and repeatability of the results have been confirmed in comparative studies with results obtained through invasive methods and echocardiography. Not only are haemodynamic changes monitored by means of ICG in intensive care units, in operating theatres and at haemodialysis stations, but repeated measurements also provide haemodynamic information during the treatment of patients with hypertension and heart failure and pregnant women with cardiological problems and gestosis. A single ICG investigation makes a great contribution to the basic information available about the circulatory system, which is helpful in the initial evaluation of patients in a severe general condition (for example in the admission room), and also makes it possible to make a swift diagnosis of the cause of complaints such as dyspnoea and hypotonia.

  • Transthoracic Impedance Compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Assessment of Cardiac Output
    Artigo Original Bioimpedância Transtorácica Comparada à Ressonância Magnética na Avaliação do Débito Cardíaco Transthoracic Impedance Compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Assessment of Cardiac Output Humberto Villacorta Junior1, Aline Sterque Villacorta1, Fernanda Amador2, Marcelo Hadlich2, Denilson Campos de Albuquerque2, Clerio Francisco Azevedo2 Universidade Federal Fluminense1, Rio de Janeiro, Instituto DO’r de Pesquisa e Ensino2, Rio de Janeiro, RJ – Brasil Resumo Fundamento: A ressonância magnética cardíaca é considerada o método padrão-ouro para o cálculo de volumes cardíacos. A bioimpedância transtorácica cardíaca avalia o débito cardíaco. Não há trabalhos que validem essa medida comparada à ressonância. Objetivo: Avaliar o desempenho da bioimpedância transtorácica cardíaca no cálculo do débito cardíaco, índice cardíaco e volume sistólico, utilizando a ressonância como padrão-ouro. Métodos: Avaliados 31 pacientes, com média de idade de 56,7 ± 18 anos, sendo 18 (58%) do sexo masculino. Foram excluídos os pacientes cuja indicação para a ressonância magnética cardíaca incluía avaliação sob estresse farmacológico. A correlação entre os métodos foi avaliada pelo coeficiente de Pearson, e a dispersão das diferenças absolutas em relação à média foi demonstrada pelo método de Bland-Altman. A concordância entre os métodos foi realizada pelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasses. Resultados: A média do débito cardíaco pela bioimpedância transtorácica cardíaca e pela ressonância foi, respectivamente, 5,16 ± 0,9 e 5,13 ± 0,9 L/min. Observou-se boa correlação entre os métodos para o débito cardíaco (r = 0,79; p = 0,0001), índice cardíaco (r = 0,74; p = 0,0001) e volume sistólico (r = 0,88; p = 0,0001). A avaliação pelo gráfico de Bland-Altman mostrou pequena dispersão das diferenças em relação à média, com baixa amplitude dos intervalos de concordância.

  • Cardiovascular Adaptation to Simulated Microgravity And

Caiani3, Philippe van de Borne6 & Pierre‑François Migeotte1 Head‑down bed rest (HDBR) reproduces the cardiovascular efects of microgravity. We tested the hypothesis that regular high‑intensity physical exercise (JUMP) could prevent this cardiovascular deconditioning, which could be detected using seismocardiography (SCG) and ballistocardiography (BCG). 23 healthy males were exposed to 60‑day HDBR: 12 in a physical exercise group (JUMP), the others in a control group (CTRL). SCG and BCG were measured during supine controlled breathing protocols. From the linear and rotational SCG/BCG signals, the integral of kinetic energy ( iK ) was computed on each dimension over the cardiac cycle. At the end of HDBR, BCG rotational iK and SCG transversal iK decreased similarly for all participants (− 40% and − 44%, respectively, p < 0.05), and so did orthostatic tolerance (− 58%, p < 0.01). Resting heart rate decreased in JUMP (− 10%, p < 0.01), but not in CTRL. BCG linear iK decreased in CTRL (− 50%, p < 0.05), but not in JUMP. The changes in the systolic component of BCG linear iK were correlated to those in stroke volume and VO2 max (R = 0.44 and 0.47, respectively, p < 0.05). JUMP was less afected by cardiovascular deconditioning, which could be detected by BCG in agreement with standard markers of the cardiovascular condition. This shows the potential of BCG to easily monitor cardiac deconditioning.
