Non-invasive hemodynamic evaluation following TAVI for severe aortic stenosis
Authors: K Orvin, T Grinberg, R Kornowski, Maya Wiessman, Yaron Aviv, Leor Perl CONCLUSION: A unique pattern of short and longer-term adaptive hemodynamic changes was demonstrated using the NICaS system among patients undergoing TAVI. These findings require validation and further research into their underlying mechanism if NICaS is to be used as a bedside monitoring […]
Lack of Concordance Between Parameters Defining Cardiogenic Shock in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Triston Eastman, Mirna Ragheb, Mullein Thorleifson, Brett Hiebert, Kunal Minhas, Malek Kass, Amir Ravandi and Ashish Shah Conclusion: Our study is the first to describe poor congruity between the current parameters defining CS. Such limitations raise the need to objectively define CS so that these high-risk patients can be identified early in the course […]
Non-Invasive Hemodynamic Whole-Body Bioimpedance Indices for the Early Detection of Cancer Treatment-Related Cardiotoxicity: A Retrospective Observational Study
Authors: Nili Schamroth Pravda, Shaul Lev , Osnat Itzhaki Ben Zadok, Ran Kornowski, Zaza Iakobishvili Conclusion: GGI, a parameter measured by WBI, can reliably correlate to biomarker evidence of heart failure in patients after chemotherapy. Its use as a screening tool for cardiotoxicity in patients with ongoing anticancer therapy is promising. For the full article […]
Accurate noninvasive continuous monitoring of cardiac output by whole body electrical bioimpedance
Authors: Gad Cotter , Yaron Moshkovitz, Edo Kaluski, Amram J Cohen, Hilton Miller, Daniel Goor, Zvi Vered The results of the study indicate that the measurements taken by the NICaS are accurate in rapid, noninvasive measurement and follow-up of CO in a wide range of cardiac clinical situations.

The Clinical Research of NICaS for Monitoring Changes of Cardiac Function in Patients with Sepsis (part 2)
Authors: Zhu Yan Second Military Medical University CONCLUSION: (1) In patients with sepsis thrombocytopenia, a high SOFA score indicates that the patient is in critical condition and the prognosis is poor. (2) sepsis patients with too fast a heart rate suggest poor prognosis. (3) The response of the cardiovascular system was closely related to the […]
The Clinical Research of NICaS for Monitoring Changes of Cardiac Function in Patients with Sepsis (two part study – part 1)
Authors: Zhu Yan Second Military Medical University CONCLUSION: NICaS can measure the cardiac output and stroke volume in sepsis patients as accurate as ultrasonic Cardiogram, and the exclusive GGI figure NICaS provides has a positive correlation with EF of Ultrasonic Cardiogram but without significance, which may be attributed to the fact that the GGI is […]
Application of Impedance Cardiac Output Monitoring System in AMI Patients After PCI
Authors: Guo Longzhe, Ning Wenlong, Liu Fei, Wang Xueyan, Xin Chuanyou, Zhong Lijuan, Zhou Guangjun, Bao Haibo, Du Aijun. Conclusion: NICAS can more accurately assess the patient’s cardiac function, thereby improving the overall treatment effect. Abstract can be provided upon request
Non-Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in TAVI-patients reveals more pronounced early in-hospital circulatory recovery for low-gradient aortic stenosis
Authors: Birgit Markus, Holger Ahrens, Bernard Schieffer and more. Conclusion: NICaS monitoring represents an accurate non-invasive bedside tool to discriminate adaptive circulatory changes in subgroups of aortic stenosis patients subjected to TAVI. Hemodynamic parameters recovered more effectively in LG-AS patients after the procedure. Whether a measurement-guided approach might be used for tailored peri-procedural management and […]
Early post-stress decrease in cardiac performance by impedance cardiography and its relationship to the severity and extent of ischemia by myocardial perfusion imaging
Authors: Ronen Goldkorn, Alexey Naimushin, Eli Rozen & Dov Freimark Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that the immediate post-stress changes in several hemodynamic parameters as detected by the NICaS can be used as an important adjunct to the diagnostic approach for the early detection of myocardial ischemia. These findings can be used […]
Impedance cardiographt in the evaluation of the hemodynamic profile in dilated cardiopathy
Authors: María Carolina Duarte Martínez, Carlos Andres Peñaherrera, Ernesto Peñaherrera Patiño A cross-sectional study in a public hospital in Ecuador. Chronic arterial hypertension is the main cause of dilated heart disease in our country. These patients have decreased hemodynamic heart pump patterns (systolic dysfunction), and increased total peripheral resistance, as would be expected. Cardio impedance […]
