Rheocardiography, an advanced noninvasive circulatory system test in children and adults: Progress and prospects

详细

This article provides an overview of theoretical studies and clinical practice of using thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB). TEB is a noninvasive method for the measurement of cardiac output, cardiac index, systolic time intervals, and other hemodynamic parameters. The opinions of modern authors regarding the usage of this method are still controversial. However, many studies have proved that TEB is an accurate, reliable and promising method for monitoring the relative changes in hemodynamics in many clinical situations and in physiological studies of cardiac activity.
