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 […]
Comparison of stroke volume measurements during hemodialysis using bioimpedance cardiography and echocardiography
Authors: Michael J. Germain,Jyovani Joubert,Daniel O’Grady,Brian H. Nathanson,Yossi Chait,Nathan W. Levin NICaS SV measurements are similar to and strongly correlated with Echo SV measurements. This suggests that noninvasive NiCaS technology may be a practical method for measuring SV during HD. For the full article click here
A Phase 2a dose-escalation study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and hemodynamic effects of BMS-986231 in hospitalized patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Validation of Non-invasive Cardiac System (NICaS) Derived Stroke Volume With Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Authors: Pedram Hassan-Tash, Umar Ismail, Gurkirat Chana, Iain Kirkpatrick, Davinder S Jassal, Brett Hiebert, Amir Ravandi, Malek Kass, Ashish H Shah Conclusion: Stroke volume measured using NICaS strongly correlated with that from CMR. NICaS also demonstrated strong consistency in SV derived at different time points in the same individual. For the full article click here
