Cardiography, Impedance
A type of impedance plethysmography in which bioelectrical impedance is measured between electrodes positioned around the neck and around the lower thorax. It is used principally to calculate stroke volume and cardiac volume, but it is also related to myocardial contractility, thoracic fluid content, and circulation to the extremities.
Electric Impedance
The resistance to the flow of either alternating or direct electrical current.
Plethysmography, Impedance
Recording changes in electrical impedance between electrodes placed on opposite sides of a part of the body, as a measure of volume changes in the path of the current. (Stedman, 25th ed)
Cardiac Output
The volume of BLOOD passing through the HEART per unit of time. It is usually expressed as liters (volume) per minute so as not to be confused with STROKE VOLUME (volume per beat).
Isosorbide
1,4:3,6-Dianhydro D-glucitol. Chemically inert osmotic diuretic used mainly to treat hydrocephalus; also used in glaucoma.
Thoracic Cavity
The region of the thorax that includes the PLEURAL CAVITY and MEDIASTINUM.
Heart Auscultation
Act of listening for sounds within the heart.
Heart Sounds
The sounds heard over the cardiac region produced by the functioning of the heart. There are four distinct sounds: the first occurs at the beginning of SYSTOLE and is heard as a "lubb" sound; the second is produced by the closing of the AORTIC VALVE and PULMONARY VALVE and is heard as a "dupp" sound; the third is produced by vibrations of the ventricular walls when suddenly distended by the rush of blood from the HEART ATRIA; and the fourth is produced by atrial contraction and ventricular filling.
Stroke Volume
The amount of BLOOD pumped out of the HEART per beat, not to be confused with cardiac output (volume/time). It is calculated as the difference between the end-diastolic volume and the end-systolic volume.
Hemodynamics
The movement and the forces involved in the movement of the blood through the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.
Kinetocardiography
The graphic recording of chest wall movement due to cardiac impulses.
Phonocardiography
Graphic registration of the heart sounds picked up as vibrations and transformed by a piezoelectric crystal microphone into a varying electrical output according to the stresses imposed by the sound waves. The electrical output is amplified by a stethograph amplifier and recorded by a device incorporated into the electrocardiograph or by a multichannel recording machine.
Dielectric Spectroscopy
A technique of measuring the dielectric properties of materials, which vary over a range of frequencies depending on the physical properties of the material. The technique involves measuring, over a range of frequencies, ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE and phase shift of an electric field as it passes through the material.
Vascular Resistance
The force that opposes the flow of BLOOD through a vascular bed. It is equal to the difference in BLOOD PRESSURE across the vascular bed divided by the CARDIAC OUTPUT.
Heart Rate
The number of times the HEART VENTRICLES contract per unit of time, usually per minute.

The continuous measurement of physiological processes, blood pressure, heart rate, renal output, reflexes, respiration, etc., in a patient or experimental animal; includes pharmacologic monitoring, the measurement of administered drugs or their metabolites in the blood, tissues, or urine.
Blood Pressure
PRESSURE of the BLOOD on the ARTERIES and other BLOOD VESSELS.
Reproducibility of Results
The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
Heart Failure
A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
Exercise
Physical activity which is usually regular and done with the intention of improving or maintaining PHYSICAL FITNESS or HEALTH. Contrast with PHYSICAL EXERTION which is concerned largely with the physiologic and metabolic response to energy expenditure.
Electrocardiography
Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.
Exercise Movement Techniques
Methods or programs of physical activities which can be used to promote, maintain, or restore the physical and physiological well-being of an individual.
Hypotension
Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.
Hemodiafiltration
The combination of hemodialysis and hemofiltration either simultaneously or sequentially. Convective transport (hemofiltration) may be better for removal of larger molecular weight substances and diffusive transport (hemodialysis) for smaller molecular weight solutes.
Renal Dialysis
Therapy for the insufficient cleansing of the BLOOD by the kidneys based on dialysis and including hemodialysis, PERITONEAL DIALYSIS, and HEMODIAFILTRATION.
Kidney Failure, Chronic
The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
Tomography
Imaging methods that result in sharp images of objects located on a chosen plane and blurred images located above or below the plane.
Meridians
Classical loci in ACUPUNCTURE. They are main and collateral channels, regarded as a network of passages, through which vital energy (Qi) circulates and along which acupoints (ACUPUNCTURE POINTS) are distributed. The meridians are a series of 14 lines upon which more than 400 acupoints are located on the body. (The Pinyin Chinese-English Dictionary, p. 359; Dr. Wu Lancheng, Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Beijing)
Echocardiography
Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues. The standard approach is transthoracic.

Echocardiography, Three-Dimensional
Echocardiography amplified by the addition of depth to the conventional two-dimensional ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY visualizing only the length and width of the heart. Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was first described in 1961 but its application to echocardiography did not take place until 1974. (Mayo Clin Proc 1993;68:221-40)

Randomised comparison of electrode positions for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. (1/174)

OBJECTIVE: To compare the relative efficacy of anteroanterior v anteroposterior electrode pad positions for external cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. DESIGN: Prospective randomised trial. SETTING: Tertiary referral cardiology centre in the United Kingdom. PATIENTS: 90 patients undergoing elective cardioversion for atrial fibrillation. INTERVENTIONS: Cardioversion was attempted with self adhesive electrode pads with an area of 106 cm2 placed either in the anteroanterior (AA) or anteroposterior (AP) positions. Initial shock was 100 J which, if unsuccessful, was followed by 200 J, 300 J, and 360 J if required. Peak current and transthoracic impedance were measured. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cardioversion success rate and energy requirements. RESULTS: Cardioversion was successful in 81% of the patients (73/90). There was no statistically significant difference in the cardioversion success rate (AA 84%, 38/45 patients; AP 78%, 35/45 patients; p = 0.42) or mean (SD) energy requirement for all patients (AA 223 (96.1) J; AP 232 (110) J) or for patients who were successfully cardioverted (AA 197.9 (82.4) J; AP 195.4 (97.2) J; p = 0.9) between the two pad positions. The mean transthoracic impedance (TTI) for the first shock (AA 77.5 (18.4) ohms; AP 73.7 (18.7) ohms; p = 0.34) was not significantly different between the two groups. TTI correlated significantly with body mass index, percentage body fat, and chest AP diameter. There was a progressive decrease in TTI with serial shocks. While aetiology and TTI were the two independent significant predictive factors for energy requirement, duration of atrial fibrillation was the only independent predictor of cardioversion success in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Electrode pad position is not a determinant of cardioversion success rate or energy requirement.  (+info)

Cyclic changes in right ventricular output impedance during mechanical ventilation. (2/174)

In a context such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, where optimum tidal volume and airway pressure levels are debated, the present study was designed to differentiate the right ventricular (RV) consequences of increasing lung volume from those secondary to increasing airway pressure during tidal ventilation. The study was conducted by combined two-dimensional echocardiographic and Doppler studies in 10 patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the controlled mode because of acute respiratory failure. Continuous monitoring of airway pressure on echocardiographic and Doppler recordings provided accurate timing of each cardiac event during the respiratory cycle, with particular attention being paid to end-expiratory and end-inspiratory atrial diameters, RV dimensions, and pulmonary artery and tricuspid flow estimated by the velocity-time integral (PA(VTI) and T(VTI), respectively). At baseline, lung inflation during the inspiratory phase of mechanical ventilation produced a drop in PA(VTI) from 14.3 +/- 2.6 cm at end expiration to 11.3 +/- 2.1 cm at end inspiration. This drop occurred without reduction in right atrial diameter or in RV diastolic dimensions. It was not preceded but was followed by a decrease in T(VTI), thus confirming an increase in RV outflow impedance. Manipulation of tidal volume without changing airway pressure and manipulation of airway pressure without changing tidal volume demonstrated that tidal volume, but not airway pressure, was the main determinant factor of RV afterloading during mechanical ventilation.  (+info)

Three-dimensional endocardial impedance mapping: a new approach for myocardial infarction assessment. (3/174)

Precise identification of infarcted myocardial tissue is of importance in diagnostic and interventional cardiology. A three-dimensional, catheter-based endocardial electromechanical mapping technique was used to assess the ability of local endocardial impedance in delineating the exact location, size, and border of canine myocardial infarction. Electromechanical mapping of the left ventricle was performed in a control group (n = 10) and 4 wk after left anterior descending coronary artery ligation (n = 10). Impedance, bipolar electrogram amplitude, and endocardial local shortening (LS) were quantified. The infarcted area was compared with the corresponding regions in controls, revealing a significant reduction in impedance values [infarcted vs. controls: 168.8 +/- 11. 7 and 240.7 +/- 22.3 Omega, respectively (means +/- SE), P < 0.05] bipolar electrogram amplitude (1.8 +/- 0.2 mV, 4.4 +/- 0.7 mV, P < 0. 05), and LS (-2.36 +/- 1.6%, 11.9 +/- 0.9%, P < 0.05). The accuracy of the impedance maps in delineating the location and extent of the infarcted region was demonstrated by the high correlation with the infarct area (Pearson's correlation coefficient = 0.942) and the accurate identification of the infarct borders in pathology. By accurately defining myocardial infarction and its borders, endocardial impedance mapping may become a clinically useful tool in differentiating healthy from necrotic myocardial tissue.  (+info)

Relations of stroke volume and cardiac output to body composition: the strong heart study. (4/174)

BACKGROUND: Although cardiac output (CO) plays the vital role of delivering nutrients to body tissues, few data are available concerning the relations of stroke volume (SV) and CO to body composition in large population samples. METHODS AND RESULTS: Doppler and 2D echocardiography and bioelectric impedance in 2744 Strong Heart Study participants were used to calculate SV and CO and to relate them to fat-free body mass (FFM), adipose mass, and demographic variables. Both SV and CO were higher in men than women and in overweight than normal-weight individuals, but these differences were diminished or even reversed by normalization for FFM or body surface area. In both sexes, SV and CO were more strongly related to FFM than adipose mass, other body habitus measures, arterial pressure, diabetes, or age. In multivariate analyses using the average of Doppler and left ventricular SV to minimize measurement variability, FFM was the strongest correlate of SV and CO; other independent correlates were adipose mass, systolic pressure, diabetes, age, and use of digoxin and calcium channel and beta-blockers. CONCLUSIONS: In a population-based sample, SV and CO are more strongly related to FFM than other variables; increased FFM may be the primary determinant of increased SV and CO in obesity.  (+info)

Ventricular afterload and ventricular work in fontan circulation: comparison with normal two-ventricle circulation and single-ventricle circulation with blalock-taussig shunts. (5/174)

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have indicated that there are inherent limitations associated with Fontan physiology. However, there have been no quantitative analyses of the effects of right heart bypass on ventricular afterload, hydraulic power, and resultant overall hemodynamics. Methods and Results- During routine cardiac catheterization, aortic impedance and ventricular hydraulic power were determined, both at rest and under increased ventricular work induced by dobutamine, in 17 patients with Fontan circulation, 15 patients with a single ventricle whose pulmonary circulation was maintained only by Blalock-Taussig shunts, and 13 patients who had normal 2-ventricle circulation. Both vascular resistance (nonpulsatile load on the ventricle) and pulsatile components of ventricular afterload (represented by low-frequency impedance) were significantly higher in the Fontan group than in the other groups (P<0.01), and this was associated with decreased cardiac output in the Fontan patients. In addition, hydraulic power cost per unit forward flow was 40% lower in the 2-ventricle circulation than in the single-ventricle circulation, suggesting lower ventricular efficiency in single-ventricle circulation attributable to the lack of a pulmonary ventricle. Furthermore, in the Fontan group, beta-adrenergic reserve was markedly decreased because of a limited preload reserve. CONCLUSIONS: Fontan physiology is associated with disadvantageous ventricular power and afterload profiles and has limited ventricular reserve capacity. Thus, to improve the long-term prognosis of patients after Fontan surgery, future research should be conducted into medical interventions that can overcome these limitations inherent in Fontan circulation.  (+info)

Endocardial and epicardial steroid lead pacing in the neonatal and paediatric age group. (6/174)

AIM: To compare the performance of steroid eluting epicardial and endocardial leads in infants and children requiring permanent pacing. METHODS: Evaluation of pacing and sensing characteristics, impedances, and longevity of 159 steroid eluting leads implanted in 95 children. Group A consisted of 24 children weighing less than 15 kg with 15 endocardial leads (five atrial, 10 ventricular) and 19 epicardial leads (five atrial, 14 ventricular). Group B consisted of 71 children weighing more than 15 kg with 106 endocardial leads (56 atrial, 58 ventricular) and 19 epicardial leads (nine atrial, 10 ventricular). RESULTS: Group A: Stimulation thresholds were lower for ventricular endocardial leads at implant (mean (SD) 0.84 (0.54) v 1.59 (0.64) V, p < 0.014) and at two year follow up (ventricular 0.64 (0.24) v 1.65 (0.69) V, p < 0.003). Impedance and sensing thresholds did not differ significantly at implant and follow up. Group B: Stimulation thresholds were lower for ventricular endocardial leads at implant (0.72 (0.48) v 1.48 (0.58) V, p < 0.001) and at follow up (0.88 (0.46) v 1.55 (0.96) V, p < 0.009). Impedance did not differ. Sensing thresholds were also better for ventricular endocardial leads at follow up (9.1 (5.2) v 14.2 (6.4) mV, p < 0.02). Complications requiring intervention occurred in both groups (n = 7 for endocardial v n = 18 for epicardial leads). CONCLUSIONS: Endocardial and epicardial steroid eluting leads have comparable performance in the paediatric population.  (+info)

Changes in the transthoracic impedance signal predict the outcome of a 70 degrees head-up tilt test. (7/174)

We determined whether early changes in central haemodynamics, as determined by transthoracic impedance, induced by a 70 degrees head-up tilt (HUT) test could predict syncope. Heart rate, arterial blood pressure and central haemodynamics [pre-ejection period and rapid left ventricular ejection time ( T (1)), slow ejection time ( T (2)) and d Z /d t (max) (where Z is thoracic impedance), assessed by the transthoracic impedance technique], were recorded during supine rest and during a 45 min 70 degrees HUT test in 68 patients (40+/-2 years) with a history of unexplained recurrent syncope. We found that 38 patients (42+/-3 years) had a symptomatic outcome to 70 degrees HUT (fainters) and 30 (39+/-2 years) had a negative outcome (non-fainters). When measured between 5 and 10 min of 70 degrees HUT, T (2) had increased significantly only in the fainters, and a change in T (2) of >40 ms from baseline predicted a positive outcome with a sensitivity of 68% and a specificity of 70%. During supine rest prior to 70 degrees HUT, the fainters exhibited a shorter T (2) than non-fainters (183+/-10 compared with 233+/-14 ms; P <0.01), and a T (2) of <199 ms predicted a positive outcome to 70 degrees HUT with a sensitivity of 68% and a specificity of 63%. Incorporation of the changes that occurred from rest to 70 degrees HUT in other haemodynamic variables (heart rate >11 beats/min, systolic pressure <2 mmHg, diastolic pressure <7 mmHg and pulse pressure <-3 mmHg) increased the specificity to 97% and the positive predictive value to 93%. Thus transthoracic impedance could detect differences in central haemodynamics between fainters and non-fainters during supine rest and during the initial period of 70 degrees HUT with a consistent sensitivity and specificity when combined with peripheral haemodynamic variables.  (+info)

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia during speech production. (8/174)

The amplitude of the respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) was investigated during a reading aloud task to determine whether alterations in respiratory control during speech production affect the amplitude of RSA. Changes in RSA amplitude associated with speech were evaluated by comparing RSA amplitudes during reading aloud with those obtained during rest breathing. A third condition, silent reading, was included to control for potentially confounding effects of cardiovascular responses to cognitive processes involved in the process of reading. Calibrated respiratory kinematics, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and speech audio signals were recorded from 18 adults (9 men, 9 women) during 5-min trials of each condition. The results indicated that the increases in respiratory duration, lung volume, and inspiratory velocity associated with reading aloud were accompanied by similar increases in the amplitude of RSA. This finding provides support for the premise that sensorimotor pathways mediating metabolic respiration are actively modulated during speech production.  (+info)

Impedance cardiography - WikipediaImpedance cardiography - Wikipedia
Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive technology measuring total electrical conductivity of the thorax and its changes in time to process continuously a number of cardiodynamic parameters, such as Stroke Volume, SV, Heart Rate, HR, Cardiac Output, CO, Ventricular Ejection Time, VET, Pre-ejection Period and used to detect the impedance changes caused by a high-frequency, low magnitude current flowing through the thorax between additional two pairs of electrodes located outside of the measured segment. The sensing electrodes also detect the ECG signal, which is used as a timing clock of the system. Impedance cardiography (ICG), also referred to as electrical impedance plethysmography (EIP) or Thoracic Electrical Bioimpedance (TEB) has been researched since the 1940s. NASA helped develop the technology in the 1960s. The use of impedance cardiography in psychophysiological research was pioneered by the publication of an article by Miller and Horvath in 1978. Subsequently, the recommendations ...

Pediatric Impedance Cardiography: Temporal Stability and Intertask Con by William H. OBrien and Jennifer J. McGrathPediatric Impedance Cardiography: Temporal Stability and Intertask Con by William H. OBrien and Jennifer J. McGrath
The pathogenic processes responsible for cardiovascular disease have their origins in childhood. Although childrens measures of heart rate and blood pressure have been found to be reliable, the reliability of impedance cardiography derived measures have not been evaluated. Thirty-three children, ages 8-11 participated in two sessions. Stressors included serial subtraction, isometric handgrip, and mirror-image tracing. Results indicated the impedance measures showed moderately high temporal stability (average scores r(avg) = 74; difference scores r(avg) = .53) and intertask consistency (average scores r(avg) = .78; difference scores r(avg) = .53). Blood pressure demonstrated the lowest reliability; Heather index, preejection period, and stroke volume demonstrated the highest. These findings suggest childrens cardiovascular reactivity to laboratory stressors can be reliably and consistently assessed using impedance cardiography.

Adaptive Filter Removes Variability Caused by Respiration from Impedance Cardiography SignalAdaptive Filter Removes Variability Caused by Respiration from Impedance Cardiography Signal
Impedance cardiography (ICG) allows to measure parameters of heart mechanical function. ICG is sensitivity to movement artifacts inter alia breathing, which distorts impedance signal. Several methods were proposed to eliminate this distortion, but they cannot be used to continuous measurement or do not remove movement artifact. Adaptive filter is event-related, it learns signal characteristic within the cycle and removes components uncorrelated with the event. In this study, we compared ICG signal obtained during normal breathing with that after adaptive filtration and ICG signal obtained during momentary breath holding with this signal processed with adaptive filter. We conclude that adaptive filtering may help extract information from noisy and distorted ICG signal, but on the other hand, it may obscure some real changes in signal, for instance, rapid cyclic changes connected with respiration.

Introduction. The American Heart Association Resuscitation Guidelines advocate four pad positions to achieve defibrillation success following cardiac arrest. Transthoracic impedance (TTI) reflects the electrode-skin interface and patient impedance and affects current amplitude, energy delivered and defibrillation efficacy. Modern defibrillators utilise an impedance compensated waveform to account for changes in TTI to improve defibrillation success. However the effect of electrode pad position and patient characteristics on TTI remains unclear.. Objective. To evaluate the effect of patient characteristics and pad position on Transthoracic impedance (TTI).. Methods. Patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation were recruited for the study following regional ethical approval. Standard self-adhesive defibrillator electrodes were applied to patients in both the anterolateral and anteroposterior positions and connected to Heartsine Samaritan defibrillators.

Assessment of stroke volume (SV) is often necessary in clinical and research settings. The clinically established method for SV assessment in pregnancy is echocardiography, but given its limitations, it is not always an appropriate measurement tool. Thoracic impedance cardiography (ICG) allows continuous, non-invasive SV assessment. However, SV determination relies on assumptions regarding the thoracic shape that may mean the algorithm is not valid in pregnancy. The available data regarding the validity of ICG against an established reference standard using modern SV algorithms are both limited and conflicting. We aimed to test the validity of ICG in a clinically realistic setting in late pregnancy using echocardiography. Twenty-nine women in late pregnancy underwent standard echocardiography assessments with simultaneous ICG measurement. Agreement between devices was tested using Bland-Altman analysis. Bland-Altman analysis of the relationship between ICG and echocardiography demonstrated that the 95%

Impedance cardiography seems to be a very good, although underappreciated diagnostic method. What may distinguish it from among the many research methods is the fact that it enables non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output, stroke volume and systemic vascular resistance. Holter recording of the hemodynamic parameters makes it possible to study them not only in stationary (hospital, outpatient clinic) conditions, but also during household or professional activities, e.g., during road vehicle driving. Assessment of the trends of changes in the circulatory system of the employee at work makes it possible to judge whether the type of work performed by the worker is well tolerated - whether it is not too hard or too stressful. This is important, therefore, impedance cardiography can be extensively used in occupational medicine. Provision of preventive care to workers according to current standards requires, on the one hand, the use of the latest diagnostic methods while, on the other hand, the ...

A system and method for assessing pulmonary performance through transthoracic impedance monitoring is described. Transthoracic impedance measures are directly collected through an implantable medical device. The transthoracic impedance measures are correlated to pulmonary functional measures relative to performance of at least one respiration cycle. The transthoracic impedance measures are grouped into at least one measures set corresponding to one of an inspiratory phase and an expiratory phase. The at least one transthoracic impedance measures set are evaluated to identify a respiratory pattern relative to the inspiratory phase or the expiratory phase to represent pulmonary performance.

Mitral regurgitation determined by radionuclide cardiography: dependence on posture and exercise. | HeartMitral regurgitation determined by radionuclide cardiography: dependence on posture and exercise. | Heart
OBJECTIVES--To evaluate dependence of posture and exercise on the degree of mitral regurgitation using combined first pass and equilibrium radionuclide cardiography. DESIGN--24 patients with clinically stable chronic mitral regurgitation and sinus rhythm were studied by first pass list mode and simultaneous multigated frame mode equilibrium radionuclide cardiography using red cells labelled with technetium-99m. RESULTS--When patients changed posture from supine to sitting upright, left ventricular volumes decreased considerably. Regurgitation tended to increase in patients with valve prolapse but decreased in patients with ischaemic heart disease and dilated cardiomyopathy. During submaximal bicycle exercise cardiac output increased without dilatation of the left ventricle. The increase in left ventricular forward stroke volume was more pronounced than that in the total stroke volume, leading to a considerable decrease in the regurgitant flow through the mitral valve. The repeatability and ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) devices with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) have the ability to continuously monitor heart rate variability, daily heart rate, and patient activity. Changes in these measures have been associated with heart failure prognosis. In addition, ICD or CRT-D devices also have the ability to measure daily intrathoracic impedance. Previous data have demonstrated that device-based intrathoracic impedance measurements correlate with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and fluid retention, both of which are common measures of heart failure status. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the heart rate variability, daily heart rate, and/or intrathoracic impedance can be used in conjunction with other methods to determine if patients are ready for hospital discharge. This will be the first step in potentially developing an inpatient care strategy which includes implantable device data. It is hypothesized that device diagnostic data ...

Background: Patients, providers, and health systems are focused on reducing readmissions for patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Readmission after hospitalization is common and often secondary to HF decompensation, but it remains challenging to identify patients at-risk. Bioimpedance is a validated marker of thoracic fluid accumulation. We examined whether transthoracic bioimpedance, measured using a Fluid Accumulation Vest (FAV), predicted HF decompensation in advance of a clinical event in patients discharged after ADHF.. Methods: Participants included 42 patients hospitalized for ADHF. Participants were trained on the use of a FAV-smartphone dyad to obtain and transmit a 5-minute bioimpedance measurement once daily for 45-days after discharge. Readmission and diuretic dosing adjustments were identified using participant report and causes adjudicated using medical records. Daily bioimpedance was analyzed using the HF detection strategy shown in Figure. Receiver operating ...

Cardiac Output | BIOPACCardiac Output | BIOPAC
BIOPACSs noninvasive cardiac output sensor noninvasively records the parameters associated with Cardiac Output measurements and is ideal for use in Biopac Student Lab Lesson H21, Impedance Cardiography. The sensor incorporates a precision high frequency current source, which injects a small (400 µA rms @ 100 kHz sine wave) current through the measurement tissue volume defined by the placement of a set of current source electrodes. A separate set of monitoring electrodes then measures the voltage developed across the tissue volume. Because the current is constant, the voltage measured is proportional to the characteristics of the biological impedance of the tissue volume. The sensor can be used to measure changes in Cardiac Output under a variety of conditions: laying down, sitting up, standing up, and post-exercise. ...

The performance of impedance cardiography (TEBco), using the BoMed NCCOM3-R7S, and thermodilution (TDco) were compared in eight patients during major abdominal surgery. An opioid, volatile and relaxant anaesthetic technique was employed. This was supplemented with an epidural in five cases. Sets of three cardiac output readings, for both methods, were made at 10-20 min intervals throughout surgery. Data were compared using the Bland and Altman method, regression analysis and a nested model to measure variance components at different stages of surgery. Data from 157 sets of readings are presented. Agreement between the two devices was poor, with a ratio of TDco/TEBco of 115% and limits of agreement of 51-193%. The regression line was TDco=(0.98)×TEBco-0.95 with r=0.60. A more detailed analysis, using nested data, showed good repeatability with coefficients of variation of 5.4% for TDco and 4.8% for TEBco. During surgery shifts in the bias between the two devices occurred, which were related to changes

Cardiodynamic and hemodynamic reactions to emotion-eliciting film sequences were investigated. Thirty-two healthy subjects (12 women, 20 men) were randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the first group, anger was induced using selected scenes of the film Ragtime. In the second group, scenes of the film The Shining were chosen to elicit fear. A documentary film was used as a baseline stimulus in both groups. EKG, impedance cardiography, and blood pressure were continuously monitored. The two emotional conditions elicited significant differential changes in subjective ratings and cardiovascular indices. Fear was associated with decreased cardiac output, increased total peripheral resistance, and a reduction in stroke volume and myocardial contractility. Anger was associated with an increase of cardiac output and small changes in total peripheral resistance. These results support the hypothesis that discrete emotions such as fear and anger elicit differential patterns of physiological ...

An implantable cardiac device and method monitors a patients body impedance so as to diagnose medical problems, such as fluid balance problems in congestive heart failure patients. The device monitors the patients position and determines an appropriate time for collecting body impedance data when the patient is in repose. The device then obtains a series of measurements of thoracic impedance by transmitting a signal on at least one lead, which may be a standard pacemaker lead, and sensing a signal received at a different point. The series of measurements are combined to obtain desired representations of thoracic impedance. In an embodiment, impedance is represented by an extracellular water (ECW) resistance value and an intracellular water (ICW) resistance value determined using a Cole calculation method.

The mechanical activation of the heart (dZ/dt) will always be preceded by the electrical activation of the heart identified by the QRS complex of the ECG signal. Rather than identifying landmarks on the dZ/dt waveform cycle by cycle in the IMP Analysis application, only the R peak on the ECG series is identified. Using this R peak as an anchor, a section of data from both ECG and dZ/dt is extracted. These extracted portions are averaged over the course of the segment of time being analyzed, producing an average representation of the relationship between ECG and dZ/dt for that segment. Essentially, the ensemble average is produced by lining up all of the identified R peaks on top of each other and then averaging the overlapping signals.. Note: Only good (non-artifact) R peaks are used to build the ensemble average. This ensures that only quality representations of cardiac cycles are included.. The amount of data extracted surrounding each R peak is chosen on the IMP Calibration Settings tab on ...

Quantium Medical Cardiac Output - WikipediaQuantium Medical Cardiac Output - Wikipedia
quantium Medical Cardiac Output (qCO) uses impedance cardiography in a simple, continuous, and non-invasive way to estimate the Cardiac output (CO) and other hemodynamic parameters such as the Stroke Volume (SV) and Cardiac index (CI). The CO estimated by the qCO monitor is referred to as the qCO. The impedance plethysmography allows determining changes in volume of the body tissues based on the measurement of the electric impedance at the body surface. The assessment of Cardiac Output (CO) is important because it reveals the main cardiac function: the supply of blood to tissues. CO reflects the hemodynamic flow and hence the transport of oxygen; its clinical applications by non-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring are especially useful for some medical specialties like anaesthesiology, emergency care and cardiology, for example to prevent hypoperfusion and to guide fluid administration. Several authors advocate the high reliability and good correlation of cardiography impedance compared ...

Comparison of a novel rectilinear biphasic waveform with a damped sine wave monophasic waveform for transthoracic ventricular...Comparison of a novel rectilinear biphasic waveform with a damped sine wave monophasic waveform for transthoracic ventricular...
The principal finding of this study is that transthoracic ventricular defibrillation with 120-J rectilinear biphasic shocks is more efficacious than that with 200-J damped sine wave monophasic shocks, particularly in patients with a high transthoracic impedance. In addition, successful defibrillation with biphasic shocks could be achieved with nearly 60% less current than that delivered with monophasic shocks.. Although most currently available defibrillators use an energy-calibrated method for defibrillation, transthoracic current appears to be a more precise electrical descriptor of defibrillation threshold (19,22). Defibrillation using an energy-calibrated method may be suboptimal because, for a given energy, current is dependent on transthoracic impedance (Table 1). Therefore, insufficient current may be delivered to patients with high impedance (decreased efficacy), and excessive current may be delivered to patients with low transthoracic impedance (increased toxicity). Manifestations of ...

Total peripheral resistance (TPR) was determined from cardiac output derived by electrical impedance cardiography. Sitting DBP decreased for -14.4 mmHg following Vera/Tran compared with -9.2 mmHg following Meto/HCTZ (p = 0.02 for difference between treatments). Blood pressure was normalized (i.e. DBP | 90 mmHg) in 69% of patients with Vera/Tran and in 52% with Meto/HCTZ.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Capnography accurately detects apnea during monitored anesthesia care. AU - Soto, Roy G.. AU - Fu, Eugene S.. AU - Vila, Hector. AU - Miguel, Rafael V.. PY - 2004/8. Y1 - 2004/8. N2 - Apnea and airway obstruction are common during monitored anesthesia care (MAC). Because their early detection is essential, we sought to measure the efficacy of capnography as an indicator of apnea during MAC at a variety of oxygen flow rates compared with thoracic impedance. Anesthesia care providers using standard American Society of Anesthesiologists monitors were blinded to capnography and thoracic impedance monitoring. Ten (26%) of the 39 patients studied developed 20 s of apnea; none was detected by the anesthesia provider, but all were detected by capnography and impedance monitoring. There was no difference in detection rates between the two methods. Higher oxygen flow rates decreased the amplitude of the capnograph but did not interfere with apnea detection. This pilot study revealed that ...

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is often associated with hospitalizations due to pulmonary congestion resulting in cardiogenic lung edema (LE). Implant-based monitoring of intrathoracic impedance as a surrogate measure of thoracic fluid status provides the chance to detect early stages of cardiac decompensation. Previously pulmonary fluid congestion has been related to clinical or preload parameters. In this study we tested for the first time the correlation between changes in intrathoracic impedance (Z) and directly measured intrathoracic fluids during LE induction as well as LE recovery.. Methods: 20 anesthetized sheep were studied, 3 served as controls, in 17 acute pulmonary fluid overload was induced by hypervolemia in combination with gradually increasing peripheral arterial resistance, in 5 sheep restitution of pulmonary fluid overload was attempted. Hemodynamics were continuously monitored including LVEDP. A transpulmonary thermodilution system was used to determine intrathoracic blood ...

Stroke is amongthe leading causes of death worldwide and requires immediate care to prevent death or permanent disability. Unfortunately, the current stateof stroke diagnosis is limited to fixed neuroimaging facilities that do not allow rapid stroke diagnosis. Hence, a portable stroke-diagnosis device could assist in the pre-hospital triage of patients. Moreover, such a portable device could also be useful for bedside stroke monitoring of patients in the Neuro Intensive Care Unit (Neuro-ICU) to avoid unnecessary neuroimaging. Recent animal studies and numerical simulations have supported the idea of implementing Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) in a portable device, allowing non-invasive assessment as a useful tool for the pre-hospital triage of stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. Unfortunately, these studies have not reported any results from human subjects in the acute phase of the stroke. The numerical simulations are also based on simple models that sometimes lack necessary ...

TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION USING INTRACARDIAC IMPEDANCES WITH AN IMPLANTABLE LEAD SYSTEM - Patent applicationTISSUE CHARACTERIZATION USING INTRACARDIAC IMPEDANCES WITH AN IMPLANTABLE LEAD SYSTEM - Patent application
0047] The exemplary waveforms 100 have a far shorter wavelength (e.g., 100 microseconds from beginning to end of a pulse) than some conventionally injected signals (e.g., 30 milliseconds for conventional) and are not only charge balanced but also voltage balanced to have a net-zero voltage and a net-zero charge. It is important to note that the net-zero voltage feature, also referred to as the voltage-balanced feature, refers to the voltage formed on blocking capacitors that appear in series with the load. The flow of current through these capacitors builds up voltage across them, Since these capacitors, such as capacitor 628 in FIG. 6, also appear in circuits that are responsible for sensing cardiac activity, it is important that the net voltage built up on them be zero. As a result of the net-zero voltage feature, the influence of an exemplary waveform 100 on sensing cardiac activity will be minimal, Thus, a current with a waveform such as that presented in FIGS. 16 and 19, generates a voltage ...

1- Underused. We take the risk of bringing the patient to the cath lab to get answers to questions and then we dont take the time to do the most thorough exam we can. If a patient has intermediate lesion, I think they should all be FFRd. In the last decade, FFR is one of the few (if only) diagnostic/interventions we do for elective CAD that actually shows benefit (FAME2) over medical therapy.. 2- Mandatory is a strong word, but I do think we need to pull the FFR wire out more in elective PCI without non-invasive testing. A very short 90% LCx lesion may very well be FFR negative. The vessel and lesion characteristics should be taken into account. If we want to rid ourselves of the oculo-stenotic reflex in intervention, then we have to investigate lesions more thoroughly.. 3- Just like a hemodynamic assessment and a sat run during a RHC can vary by operator, so too can FFR. Referring providers know which cath docs to send a RHC to and I think that FFR is the same way.. 4- Without a doubt. ...

Electrophysiology studyElectrophysiology study
Once the catheter is in and all preparations are complete elsewhere in the lab, the EP study begins. The two large magnets are brought in on either side of the patient. They are large and looming and will sandwich the patient, but are able to precisely control the position of the electrodes that are on the end of the catheters. The X-ray machine will give the doctor a view of the heart and the position of the electrodes, and the magnets will allow the doctor to guide the electrodes through the heart. The magnets are controlled with either a joystick or game controller. The electrophysiologist begins by moving the electrodes along the conduction pathways and along the inner walls of the heart, measuring the electrical activity along the way. The next step is pacing the heart, this means he/she will speed up or slow down the heart by placing the electrode at certain points along the conductive pathways of the heart and control the depolarization rate of the heart. The doctor will pace each chamber ...

Heart transplantationHeart transplantation
One of the first mentions of the possibility of heart transplantation was by American medical researcher Simon Flexner, who declared in a reading of his paper on "Tendencies in Pathology" in the University of Chicago in 1907 that it would be possible in the then-future for diseased human organs substitution for healthy ones by surgery - including arteries, stomach, kidneys and heart.[4] Not having a human donor heart available, James D. Hardy of the University of Mississippi Medical Center transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee into the chest of a dying Boyd Rush in the early morning of Jan. 24, 1964. Hardy used a defibrillator to shock the heart to restart beating. This heart did beat in Rush's chest for 60 to 90 minutes (sources differ), and then Rush died without regaining consciousness.[5][6][7] Although Hardy was a respected surgeon who had performed the world's first human-to-human lung transplant a year earlier,[8][9] author Donald McRae states that Hardy could feel the "icy disdain" from ...

Mitral valve repairMitral valve repair
In 1923 Dr. Elliott Cutler of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital performed the world's first successful heart valve surgery - a mitral valve repair. The patient was a 12-year-old girl with rheumatic mitral stenosis.. The development of the heart-lung machine in the 1950s paved the way for replacement of the mitral valve with an artificial valve in the 1960s. For decades after, mitral valve replacement was the only surgical option for patients with a severely diseased mitral valve. However, there are some significant downsides to a prosthetic mitral valve. Infection of the valve can occur, which is dangerous and difficult to treat. Patients with mechanical heart valves are required to take blood thinners for the rest of their lives, which presents a risk of bleeding complications. The artificial mitral valve has an elevated risk of stroke. Patients with mechanical heart valves who use warfarin for anticoagulation have to be on long-term anticoagulation therapy. This means they must go to the clinic ...

Mustard procedureMustard procedure
The Mustard procedure was largely replaced in the late 1980s by the Jatene procedure (arterial switch), in which the native arteries were switched back to normal flow, so that the RV (right ventricle) would be connected to the pulmonary artery and the LV (left ventricle) would be connected to the aorta. This surgery had not been possible prior to 1975 because of difficulty with re-implanting coronary arteries which perfuse the actual heart muscle itself (myocardium), and even after it was first performed the excellent results from the Mustard operation meant that it was a long time before the Jatene procedure took over. ...

Holter monitorHolter monitor
The size of the recorder differs depending on the manufacturer of the device. The average dimensions of today's Holter monitors are about 110x70x30 mm but some are only 61x46x20 mm and weigh 99 g. [6] Most of the devices operate with two AA batteries. In case the batteries are depleted, some Holters allow their replacement even during monitoring. Most of the Holters monitor the ECG via only two or three channels (Note: depending on manufacturer, different counts of leads and lead systems are used). Today's trend is to minimize the number of leads to ensure the patient's comfort during recording. Although two/three channel recording has been used for a long time in the Holter monitoring history, as mentioned above, 12 channel Holters have recently appeared. These systems use the classic Mason-Likar lead system, i.e. producing a signal in the same format as during the common rest ECG and/or stress test measurement. These Holters can occasionally provide information similar to that of a ECG stress ...

Cardiothoracic surgeryCardiothoracic surgery
Open heart surgery is a procedure in which the patient's heart is opened and surgery is performed on the internal structures of the heart. It was discovered by Wilfred G. Bigelow of the University of Toronto that the repair of intracardiac pathologies was better done with a bloodless and motionless environment, which means that the heart should be stopped and drained of blood. The first successful intracardiac correction of a congenital heart defect using hypothermia was performed by C. Walton Lillehei and F. John Lewis at the University of Minnesota on September 2, 1952. The following year, Soviet surgeon Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Vishnevskiy conducted the first cardiac surgery under local anesthesia.. Surgeons realized the limitations of hypothermia - complex intracardiac repairs take more time and the patient needs blood flow to the body, particularly to the brain. The patient needs the function of the heart and lungs provided by an artificial method, hence the term cardiopulmonary bypass. ...

Radiofrequency ablationRadiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency energy is used in heart tissue or normal parts to destroy abnormal electrical pathways that are contributing to a cardiac arrhythmia. It is used in recurrent atrial flutter (Afl), atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial tachycardia, Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT) and some types of ventricular arrhythmia. The energy-emitting probe (electrode) is at the tip of a catheter which is placed into the heart, usually through a vein. This catheter is called the ablator. The practitioner first "maps" an area of the heart to locate the abnormal electrical activity (electrophysiology study) before the responsible tissue is eliminated. Ablation is now the standard treatment for SVT and typical atrial flutter and the technique can also be used in AF, either to block the atrioventricular node after implantation of a pacemaker or to block conduction within the left atrium, especially around the pulmonary veins. In some conditions, especially forms of intra-nodal ...

Atrial septostomyAtrial septostomy
The majority of atrial septostomies are performed on infants with d-TGA or other cyanotic heart defects. In these cases, a balloon catheter is guided through a large vein into the right atrium, during cardiac catheterization. The catheter is threaded into the foramen ovale, a naturally existing hole between the atria that normally closes shortly after birth. The balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated so as to enlarge the foramen ovale enough that it will no longer become sealed. This allows more oxygenated blood to enter the right heart (especially in the case of d-TGA) where it can be pumped to the rest of the body. The balloon is deflated and the catheter is removed. Sometimes the initial surgery is not entirely successful, or there are other factors that make a simple balloon atrial septostomy impossible, such as an older patient whose foramen ovale has already closed. This is when a blade atrial septostomy is performed. The details of the procedure are largely the same, except that a ...

BallistocardiographyBallistocardiography
The ballistocardiograph (BCG) is a measure of ballistic forces on the heart.[1] Ballistocardiography is a technique for producing a graphical representation of repetitive motions of the human body arising from the sudden ejection of blood into the great vessels with each heart beat.[2] It is a vital sign in the 1-20 Hz frequency range which is caused by the mechanical movement of the heart and can be recorded by noninvasive methods from the surface of the body. It was shown for the first time, after an extensive research work by Dr. Isaac Starr, that the effect of main heart malfunctions can be identified by observing and analyzing the BCG signal.[3] Recent work also validates BCG could be monitored using camera in a non-contact manner[4]. One example of the use of a BCG is a ballistocardiographic scale, which measures the recoil of the persons body who is on the scale. A BCG scale is able to show a persons heart rate as well as their weight. The term ballistocardiograph originated from the ...

ElectrocardiographyElectrocardiography
The etymology of the word is derived from the Greek electro, because it is related to electrical activity, kardia, Greek for heart, and graph, a Greek root meaning "to write". Alexander Muirhead is reported to have attached wires to a feverish patient's wrist to obtain a record of the patient's heartbeat in 1872 at St Bartholomew's Hospital.[41] Another early pioneer was Augustus Waller, of St Mary's Hospital in London.[42] His electrocardiograph machine consisted of a Lippmann capillary electrometer fixed to a projector. The trace from the heartbeat was projected onto a photographic plate that was itself fixed to a toy train. This allowed a heartbeat to be recorded in real time. An initial breakthrough came when Willem Einthoven, working in Leiden, the Netherlands, used the string galvanometer (the first practical electrocardiograph) he invented in 1901.[43] This device was much more sensitive than both the capillary electrometer Waller used and the string galvanometer that had been invented ...

Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage by CMR. CMR examinations in children typically last 15 to 60 minutes. In order to avoid blurry images the child must remain very still during the examination. Different institutions have different protocols for pediatric CMR, but most children 7 years of age and older can cooperate sufficiently for a good quality examination. Providing an age-appropriate explanation of the procedure to the child in advance will increase the likelihood of a successful study. After proper safety screening, parents can be allowed into the MRI scanner room to help their child complete the examination. Some centers allow children to listen to music or watch movies through a specialized MRI-compatible audiovisual system to reduce anxiety and improve cooperation. However, the presence of a calm, encouraging, supportive parent generally produces better results in terms of pediatric cooperation than any distraction or entertainment strategy short of sedation.

Blalock-Taussig shuntBlalock-Taussig shunt
The original procedure was named for Alfred Blalock, surgeon, Baltimore (1899-1964), Helen B. Taussig, cardiologist, Baltimore/Boston (1898-1986) and Vivien Thomas (1910-1985) who was at that time Blalock's laboratory technician. They all helped to develop the procedure. Taussig, who treated hundreds of infants and children with this disorder, had observed that children with a cyanotic heart defect and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) lived longer than those without the PDA. It therefore seemed to her that a shunt which mimicked the function of a PDA might relieve the tetralogy patients' poor oxygenation. In 1943, having broached the possibility of a surgical solution to Robert Gross of Boston without success, Taussig approached Blalock and Thomas in their Hopkins laboratory in 1943. According to the account of the original consultation between the three provided in Vivien Thomas' 1985 autobiography Partners of the Heart, Taussig carefully described the anomaly of Tetralogy of Fallot, but made ...

The use of cold for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory has been known since the time of Hippocrates (460-377 B.C).[11] Since then there have been numerous accounts of ice used for pain relief including from the Ancient Egyptians and Avicenna of Persia (AD 982-1070).[12] Since 1899, Dr. Campbell White used refrigerants for treating a variety of conditions, including: lupus erythematosus, herpes zoster, chancroid, naevi, warts, varicose leg ulcers, carbuncles, carcinomas and epitheliomas. De Quervain successfully used of carbonic snow to treat bladder papillomas and bladder cancers in 1917. Dr Irving S Cooper, in 1913, progressed the field of cryotherapy by designing a liquid nitrogen probe capable of achieving temperatures of -196 °C, and utilizing it to treat of Parkinson's disease and previously inoperable cancer. Cooper's cryoprobe advanced the practice of cryotherapy, which led to growing interest and practice of cryotherapy. In 1964, Dr. Cahan successfully used his liquid nitrogen ...

CardioversionCardioversion
Various antiarrhythmic agents can be used to return the heart to normal sinus rhythm. Pharmacological cardioversion is an especially good option in patients with fibrillation of recent onset. Drugs that are effective at maintaining normal rhythm after electric cardioversion can also be used for pharmacological cardioversion. Drugs like amiodarone, diltiazem, verapamil and metoprolol are frequently given before cardioversion to decrease the heart rate, stabilize the patient and increase the chance that cardioversion is successful. There are various classes of agents that are most effective for pharmacological cardioversion. Class I agents are sodium (Na) channel blockers (which slow conduction by blocking the Na+ channel) and are divided into 3 subclasses a, b and c. Class Ia slows phase 0 depolarization in the ventricles and increases the absolute refractory period. Procainamide, quinidine and disopyramide are Class Ia agents. Class 1b drugs lengthen phase 3 repolarization. They include ...

The robot relays its information to an external surgical control unit, where a cardiac surgeon has a three-dimensional view of the chest cavity, and twin controllers for the robotic arms. The procedure frequently involves grafting of the internal mammary artery to the diseased coronary artery, and therefore does not require external harvesting of blood vessels.[2] ...

ValvulotomyValvulotomy
Commissurotomy of heart valves is called valvulotomy, valvotomy,[1] valvuloplasty, or valvoplasty and consists of making one or more incisions at the edges of the commissure formed between the two or three valve leaflets, which relieves the constriction of valvular stenosis (especially mitral valve stenosis). As with many other kinds of surgery, valvular commissurotomy may be done by either open or minimally invasive approaches, and sometimes (but not invariably) the terms surgery and surgical are understood to refer only to the open types, with the minimally invasive types then being referred to as interventional procedures. The minimally invasive approach is through the lumen of a vessel with a catheter, which is why it is often called a transluminal or transcatheter approach. Such approaches begin with a small skin incision to access a vessel that will lead to the heart, making them percutaneous approaches, and they use balloons whose inflation moves the valve leaflets. Thus, altogether, they ...
